problem is.. adding it to bb-hosts is
fine.. I get PING (conn) to work.
to get actual trends (disk, cpu, etc)
each bb-client would have a bb-hosts file with the correct BBDISPLAY.
so for each BBSERVER to send its information
to the other they would each need to assign BBDISPLAY to themselves and
the other (going by how clients are normally configured).
Without this I only get ping it doesn't
get the other information because as a "client" neither server
knows to send it to each other.

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.
