I'm going to assume you have 2 separate instances of BB running,
each with it's own set of bb-hosts files and a BBDISPLAY.

To have each instance monitor the "other" BBDISPLAY, just put
it's IP address and name in the bb-host file (without the 
BBDISPLAY keyword) and it'll show up like any other host.
