Kris,
Just have look to the man page of xymonnet:
Note: xymonnet performs the connectivity test (ping) based on the hostname, unless the host is tagged with "testip" or the "--dns=ip" option is used. So the target of the connectivity test can be determined by your /etc/hosts file or DNS.
Cordialement, Regards,Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Subject: [Xymon] DDNS instead of IP in hosts.cfg
Sent by: "Xymon" <xymon-bounces at xymon.com>
This may be a stupid question but how do I configure a host in my hosts.cfg file to respond to ping using a dynamic DNS name instead of an IP? I'd like to have my server monitor my home router but it's IP changes.
Thank you.
