in bbdef.sh:

remove httpd from "PROCS" or "PAGEPROC"

Nope, on the host that you have installed bb, in the bb-hosts file,
insert the BBNET keyword at the end of the line for your BB host
(probably
the same line as the BBDISPLAY as I suspect you only have one entry in
you bb-hosts)

in the same bb-hosts file add another line:

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX www.domain.com # smtp ftp http://www.domain.com/ dns

that should do the trick.

BTW, I strongly suggest that you install a BBDISPLAY on the host that
has the web server...
