I have two new Xymon servers A and B. All clients will send data to both servers 
excerpt from xymonclient.cfg: 
XYMSRV="0.0.0.0" XYMSERVERS="serverA serverB" 
I want serverA to be a client to itself and serverB and vice versa. Modifying the xymonclient.cfg file on the server sends the server (as a client), but also all the client data that reports to it. 

What do you have in tasks.cfg as the ENVFILE setting ? 
All of the server-tasks should use xymonserver.cfg for the ENVFILE setting, and in xymonserver.cfg there should only be a XYMSRV="serverA" (or serverB, depending on what server this is). 
Only the client task should point to the xymonclient.cfg file in ENVFILE. 

The "conn" test is reported by the "xymonnet" task. The only way it can be reported as "multi-source" is if your xymonserver.cfg is setup with both servers as the target (in XYMSRV / XYMSERVERS).

Hi Henrik,

Thanks for the reply.

This is a standard install on RH5, all I changed was the xymonclient.cfg file to include both servers
[xymon at yxmprdr01 ~]$ ls
cgi-bin  cgi-secure  client  data  server
[xymon at yxmprdr01 ~]$ grep ENVFILE server/etc/tasks.cfg
        ENVFILE /apps/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
...
        ENVFILE /apps/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg

[xymon at yxmprdr01 ~]$ grep XYMSRV server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
XYMSRV="$XYMONSERVERIP"         # IP of a single Xymon server
XYMSERVERS=""                   # IP of multiple Xymon servers. If used, XYMSRV must be 0.0.0.0
BBDISP="$XYMSRV"

[xymon at yxmprdr01 ~]$ grep XYMONSERVERIP server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
XYMONSERVERIP="10.10.10.69"                    # The IP-address of your server. Use the real one, not 127.0.0.1 .
XYMSRV="$XYMONSERVERIP"         # IP of a single Xymon server
MACHINEADDR="$XYMONSERVERIP"            # This systems IP-address
BBSERVERIP="$XYMONSERVERIP"

[xymon at yxmprdr01 ~]$ more client/etc/xymonclient.cfg
# Environment settings for the Xymon client.

XYMSRV="0.0.0.0"          # IP address of the Xymon server
XYMSERVERS="10.10.10.69 10.10.10.70"                   # IP of multiple Xymon servers. XYMSRV must be "0.0.0.0".
CONFIGCLASS="$SERVEROSTYPE"     # Default configuration class for logfiles
