Jordan,Here is our basic setup: System A runs all the BB server stuff and displays the bb webpages, but cannot talk to System C cause its on a private network System B has a real IP and private IP, so it can talk to be A and C System C is on a private network so can only talk to B. Is there a way to set up BB so C will sends it's BB data to B which will then relay it to A? I saw some minimal information on the archives but couldn't figure out any meaningful way to do it. A separate possibility, which isn't is good, is to set up a separate BB server on B. If I were to do this is there any way to edit bb-hosts on A so that on the main BB page on A can be linked to the BB server on B as if B's server acts merely as if it were a separate group on A's bb-hosts? Reading this back it seems very confusing the I explain it, but once you understand what I want to do it is very simple. I just can't think of a better way to explain it so please bare with me..
We have multiple BB servers spanning multiple countries around the world. Servers in a particular location are configured to send their BB client stats to the nearest BB server, which then relays the data to a BB server higher up the food chain.
What you are looking for is "BBRELAY". Here's how it works:
Your BB client on server A is setup normally to send its data to the local BB server. That local BB server has a bb-hosts file that lists all the servers its supposed to monitor, but it also has entries in the bb-hosts file similar to this:
192.168.0.1 <hostname of this local BB server> # BBNET BBPAGER BBRELAY:10.0.0.1
Which will have the BB server running on 192.168.0.1 automatically relay all the BB data it receives from clients to 10.0.0.1.
