Re: {bb} Multiple BBNET servers

[Ryan Novosielski <novosirj@umdnj.edu>]

The problem I need to solve is not making all of the hosts use one 
display, but instead having two different BBNET devices that both query 
a different set of hosts and then using one display. According to the 
bb-hosts file, it should be identical on all hosts. However, that would 
mean that both BBNET's (one running on the BBDISPLAY host and one 
running elsewhere) would be querying all of the hosts, one detecting one 
set of boxes as down and one detecting another set as downed (when 
they're really all up).

What I'd think I'd want is a subset of each host file on each BBNET 
device, or a way to say "only the BBNET running on host1.umdnj.edu 
should check this machine." I'm going to look at the bb-hosts 
documentation, but I don't think I missed anything.

Thanks.
