    Hi,

     I am doing something that I don't think has been done with xymon before.  We are running asterisk on a failover
heartbeat system.  When the failover occurs heartbeat shuts down everything on the primary server and xymon
goes nuts.  So I set up heartbeat to stop xymon when it shuts everything else down. Now when the "floating IP"
goes to the secondary server, the secondary starts up all the services and I set it up for xymon to start too.  I was
thinking would be a great idea if I could bind xymon to the floating IP the same way I do it for the rest of the
services.  So far during tests it seems to be working out ok without the binding, but may be necessary after all.

Hi,

I think I now have this under control. So you can ignore the previous email.  No more ghosts!!

   Is there a way to have the xymon client bind to a specific IP or interface?
I have more than one interface on a machine and I am getting ghost reports
because I setup xymon for eth0:0 instead of eth0.
Hi,

It surprised me that this wasn't a configurable option. There's no way to currently (as opposed to binding on the listen interface), but looking at the code, I think this should be easily addable as a feature
