All seems reasonable except for two things.

- Due to firewall issues, some net tests do not work.
Which net tests work and which don't work?  Do the working tests
also come
from the default IP address?
The only ones that work are those which already have firewall
holes 
established.
I lied.  Apparently only ping and conn test are being sent with the
wrong 
IP.
fping path is set to /home/xymon/server/bin/xymonping

Which works from command line with the option --source=desired_ip
I'm not sure if xymonnet actually passes the source-ip on to
xymonping 
or fping. You could change the FPING setting in xymonserver.cfg to 
include that --source option.

I was thinking that myself, but was not sure that would work, or how
to add it.   I'll tinker with it and post. 

Did notice that one uses --source-ip and the other --source.

Also, found that "ports" is apparently a client provided status.  (one
is 
embarrassed to confess).
