Hi,

I think, the default is to use FQDN. It is defined in xymonserver.cfg:

# General settings
FQDN="TRUE"   # Use fully-qualified hostnames internally. Keep it TRUE 
unless you know better.

    So you should never have a FQDN in your hosts.cfg


So what if you have www.internal.example.com
<http://www.in.telstra.com>; and www.example.com
<http://www.example.com>?  It seems to me that the primary attribute for
a hostname is for it to be unique.  On the Internet, that generally
means FQDN.

Regards,
Dirk
