The bb-hosts file on .4 (the remote server) has these entries:

I added these entries into the bb-hosts file on .5 (the main server)
this morning

192.168.213.4 apollo.tfc.com #noconn

192.168.213.6 bomgar  #noconn

 After doing this the messages in hobbitd went away

Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info

Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info


Now my /hobbit/bb.html page shows both "remote" items but has no data on
them other then bbproxy, info and trends on .4.


The bbproxy icon on the main servers /hobbit page shows this:

bbproxy for Hobbit version 4.2.0

My bbproxy (been running for almost 2 years now with no real problems), 
reports:


bbproxy for Hobbit version 4.2.0

So, your average queue time looks very high, and your "connecting to server" 
entry under "Timeout/failure details".

BTW, for some reason (can't remember now), I run my bbproxy with 
the --no-daemon option.
