  Well, it's me again ;)  Maybe someone could show me a step-by-step tutorial because the man page is
great but I don't really see what I should do anyway ;) Thanks by advance
  
OK. I take it you have your main BB server up and running? Good!

Install the hobbit server onto the secondary boxes. Once it is installed Do not start it!

go into the server/etc/ directory of you new hobbit installation. Edit the file hobbitlaunch.cfg. Look for bbproxy. There you will find these instructions

# "bbproxy" is the Hobbit proxy server that allows you to forward status messages
# from a protected network to your Hobbit server. It is not enabled by default,
# since it would conflict with the hobbitd task.
# If you need to run this, then disabled hobbitd and the hobbitd-modules
# above, then enable this. Make sure you enter the IP-address of your
# Hobbit server in the command-line, so that the proxy knows where to forward
# status messages.

Follow them :)

As a side note, do you want the proxy servers to do network tests? If so then you will want to use the  NET:location tag in bb-hosts to seperate the client machines.

Cheers

  Thanks for the answer Iain! Like I say, I will check-out this NET thing to see what is the best for my
needs.
