I figured it out.
I wrote a script that will be on fd402 and it will monitor the processes
that the dba wants.
Than i have it report to the machine quad.
That way it will keep them seperate when reporting as if quad was a server
Thank you for everyones help....and dominique your idea words too!

The only possibility I see is to run two clients on host fd402.
The second client will be started with --hostname=quad
bb-hosts:
10.11.12.13 fd402 # <all tests>
10.11.12.13 quad # noconn
hobbit-clients.cfg:
HOST=fd402
PROC myproc1
HOST=quad
PROC myproc2
hobbit-alerts.cfg:
HOST=fd402
MAIL user-5d4c7ac01393@xymon.invalid
HOST=quad SERVICE=procs
MAIL user-136ef9b6979a@xymon.invalid

The AIX admins what to only see the process that they want...
The dba only want to see their's on the dba page
The procs i want to show up will consist of their own and it will not
show
up on the aix page
So AIX will have 4 show up and the DBA will not have them show up but 4
different ones. This way when a process goes down it wont alert both
groups.

For our DBA team here we have a separate page for them with the same
hosts
listed but only for the things they are interested in viewing such as
procs,
mysql, msgs, postgres, disk, memory, oratns...
The same hosts show up on the unix page with the other tests listed
there.
We do this by listing the hosts twice in the bb-hosts file, once with
everything under the unix (or windows server) page and once with just #
noconn under the Database page.
You can then also use the group-only command to limit the columns to list
on
each.
We do the same thing for our web teams systems.

Ok actually this is kinda difficult to explain since i am also new to
xymon......
I have 3 servers , pro12;fd402;fa411
All thoes servers are already being monitored for hardware on a
different
page for the admins
for the dba teams they want a page with specific monitoring.
So i will call it QAD for them. QAD has no connection only a name
I want to monitor individual processes from FD402 for example and have
it
show up as a procs for QAD,.
but if i try to do HOST=QAD
proc 'procname'
it dosent show up.
i also dont want in QAD to have any of the hardware monitoring in the
admin
page only the procs that will be specific for the dba.. (There is
already
procs being monitored for FD402 but those cant show up in QAD either)
I know its possible ive seen it under example websites........

to
do
this for you. I know in BB they used the bb-proc.sh script
but i thought maybe xymon/hobbit would be more streamlined

Maybe this is what your're looking for (extract from bb-hosts(5) man
page):
NAME:hostname
Overrides the default hostname used on the overview web
pages. If "hostname" contains spaces, it must be
enclosed in double quotes, e.g. NAME:"R&D Oracle
Server"
