Hi,

for some reason we have two external hobbit monitoring servers.  Now we
got a couple of machines in a firewalled subnet, bbtest-net on both
external servers can not access them.  So I set up an internal server,
that forwards all test results to one of the external servers.
Unfortunately I need some of the test results at the other external
server.  From my mind I can remember something like:

10.0.1.1	hostA	# BBDISP=10.0.0.1 conn http://hostA/index.html
10.0.1.2	hostB	# BBDISP=10.0.0.1 conn http://hostB/index.html
10.0.1.3	host	# BBDISP=10.0.0.2 conn http://host/index.html

(with 10.0.1.0/24 the firewalled network and 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 as
two external hobbit servers), but I can't find any references to this
anymore.  Can someone help me please?  Is this possible at all or do I
need to setup a second internal server?
Why don't you run two copies of bbtest-net on the network testing internal 
server, started with different environment files (which have different 
LOCATION and BBDISP environment variables set), and use NET: tags in a shared 
bb-hosts file?
