How do I make my single enable / disable action propagate to both servers?

Is it as simple as changing
XYMSRV="0.0.0.0"
XYMSERVERS="10.235.57.11 10.235.157.56"
on both servers
and restarting xymon on both servers?

No, you probably don't want to do that.  My experience trying to do this
was that each forwarded alerts to the other and back again, so each server
received double status messages for at least some tests.

I solved the problem this way:
