Hi Thomas,

we've got the same problem. There are some rather old postings about that but at least at ancient hobbit times there was no solution. You can start multiple instances from one client but then you'll have a problem at the server which regards incoming messages from the same address for the same tests as an error as long as there aren't at least some seconds in between these two messages.
Therefore we hacked the startup script and the client will always use its logical interface as long as there is one

regards
Rolf
Hi all,

I want to monitor two adress on the same server (one for the server and the second for a particular service who may move to another server(logical interface)).
I have configured two hostname on the server and in the /etc/default/hobbit-client file I put the two hostname on the CLIENTHOSTNAME variable separated by a space.

The monitoring works fine on the first interface but nothing happens with the second.

Is it possible to configure this two interfaces ?

Can we launch multiple instances with different config file ?

Thanks,
Thomas
