Setup the server as a normal Xymon server, then disable all tasks in

Thanks Ralph and Henrik. It is almost working. I have made all the
changes you have suggested and the only problem left is that the main
display server, which is also the network tester for most clients, is
still trying to ping the hosts in the BBLOCATION which have a NET:zone
tag on the bb-hosts line. So the conn test is cycling from green (when
tested from within the zone) to red (when tested from the public side.
Shouldn't the display server not try to ping (or ssh, telnet, etc.) any
of the hosts with a NET: tag? Or does the display server also need a
BBLOCATION set for it (say 'public')? But then I would have to add
NET:public to all of the other clients, right?
Set "BBLOCATION=public" for the main display server, then add
"--test-untagged" to the bbtest-net command line ONLY on this (the main)
server. Then it will only test those servers that either have a
"NET:public" setting in bb-hosts, OR no "NET:..." at all.
Regards,
Henrik
