I have xymon clients with the weird name, i tried adding CLIENT:name as
mentioned in http://lists.xymon.com/oldarchive/2005/07/msg00362.html, but
still the new name is not appearing.

10.x.x.x   diff-host-name-app01.example.com  # noconn nofiles nobbd
NOCOLUMNS:files CLASS:STG CLIENT:app01-stg

but the new hostname is not coming. I know we can use MACHINEDOTS but that
i dont want because for ping test we use custom script which fails if
hostname after 10.x.x.x is changes as per MACHINEDOTS variable.
