I just built a new xymon server that will only be used on an internal network with 192 addresses. I have FQDN="FALSE" in the xymonserver.cfg but the ping results shown on the xymon webpage show that the tests are using names to test instead of IP's.
The FQDN option doesn't affect how the xymonnet process performs its tests. It affects how client/host names are used by xymon. From the man:
FQDN : If set to TRUE, Xymon will use fully-qualified hostnames
throughout. If set to FALSE, hostnames are stripped of their
domain-part before being processed. It is highly recommended that you
keep this set to TRUE. Default: TRUE
If what you are trying to do is make all the conn tests be performed by IP, you need to adjust the --dns option on xymonnet in your tasks.cfg
--dns=[ip|only|standard]
With "--dns=ip" xymonnet will never do a DNS lookup; it will use the IP adresse specified in hosts.cfg for the tests.

Do things because you should, not just because you can.
