2. If I check http(Client side Collector Server) error is:

Your Xymon server running the http test cannot do a DNS-lookup for
abixymon.mtncameroon.net . Either fix the DNS issue, or specify the
IP-address to use for the http test with the
http://abixymon.mtncameroon.net=10.0.0.1/ syntax to override the DNS
lookup.
Eureka! Didn't know about the "=ip" syntax, so this post sent me to the
manpage. This is perfect for our situation of Internet-facing virtual
hosts with private addresses in the internal split DNS. Up to now, if a
NAT failure occurred for one of these, we didn't necessarily know, because
we were testing via the RFC1918 address. Couldn't use straight-IP URLs
because of virtual host settings and rewrite rules.
