The option is testip, I'm pretty sure. Why this should be necessary, I don't know.

Tell it to use IP only, I believe there is an option to do that, man hosts.cfg…

Hey Everyone, I think I found a bug in xymon, I am monitoring a few hundred servers and I found that servers with similar names but different purposes are trying to report the same services. For instance, XXXXXXXXXXX486 and XXXXXXXXXXX487 is duplicating the service checks for XXXXXXXXXXX48. Is there any way that anyone knows of to get xymon to look at the entire machine name instead of just the first 12 characters of it?
