Hi,

  I would like to monitor servers inside a DMZ. Since the Hobbit-Clients
push the information to the server, they are not able reach the LAN
Hobbit
server : communication from the DMZ to the LAN is forbidden...

  What is your experience in that area guys ?
I use msgcache and the pulldata tag, so that the Hobbit server connects
to the
hosts being monitored ...
Alright, I've added "pulldata" in the bb-hosts from the server. I've
removed "DISABLED" msgcache in the clientlaunch.cfg file client.

Is there something else ?
 I still see my client inside the DMZ trying to reach the server without
success (blocked by the Firewall).
 I also see the server who make the request to the clients which is normal
BUT my DMZ hosts switched to purple!

 Did I mist something ?
Configure the client to report to itself (the msgcache), by setting 
BBDISP=127.0.0.1 in hobbitclient.cfg.
