simple question...? as time marches on etc has xymon/hobbit reached a stage yet when XYMSRV can be set to a hostname rather than an IP address?
eg? rather than
XYMSRV = "10.10.10.10"
we could have
XYMSRV = "xymonhost"
where "xymonhost" resolves in dns to 10.10.10.10?
This would be a huge benefit where anytime a xymon server is migrated to another system eg underling EOL OS, one wouldn't have to go around changing every single client server's xymon configs to a new Ip...? all that would be required is a reset in an appropriate dns zonefile so dns just provides the new IP after the TTL passes etc.
???
cheers
