But some clients are only listed in the bb-hosts of 1 of the 2

Did you see the "--ghosts={allow|drop|log}" setting for hobbitd?
"allow" seems to be what you want.
Actually you can also use BBGHOSTS in hobbitserver.cfg, which is more
convenient I think. The man page unhelpfully doesn't list what
BBGHOSTS of 0 does, but the cfg file does, so... you want a BBGHOSTS
of 0. Or make sure the bb-hosts file are the same on both
servers... It is designed so that they can be.
It is not a ghost problem. I was expecting that the information will
be send to both BBDISPLAY servers and that they will decide what to
do with the information.
But that's not the case, it talks to the first BBDISPLAY server and
only if that server is accepting the information it is also send to
the second BBDISPLAY server.
Well your situation / original message is not very clear then. What is the
big picture you are trying to achieve here? Have you checked your
http://xxx/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=xxx&SERVICE=hobbitd
and
http://yyy/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=yyy&SERVICE=hobbitd
pages? Are there are errors, warnings, ghosts or multi-source statuses?
Maybe you can post them?
