Hi.
An update, I reverted to 4.3.21-4.el7.terabithia on the proxy server and that version hasn't crashed yet.
We have a large xymon setup that averages 25 messages/sec for xymond.
I am in the process of migrating to a new xymon server and was planning 
on 
using a front end xymonproxy process on a third box to keep traffic 
going 
to both old and new boxes while I migrated across the old data 
(primarily 
the rrd data as that requires conversion from 32bit to 64bit).
The xymonproxy is working fine under light load (20 or so client 
machines) 
but when I modify the firewall port forward to point the incoming port 1984 traffic to it it crashes after a few seconds.
<snip>
Xymonproxy is running on CentOS 7 with all the latest patches installed.
172.16.100.103 is xymon 4.3.16 on CentOS 5, 172.16.100.101 is xymon 4.3.27-1.el7.terabithia on CentOS 7.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this further?
Thanks,
JT
