Hey guys,

I was on IRC this morning in support of the community site, and the
following was posted - thought you might benefit from this info on future
customer visits/calls:

QUESTION WAS
------------
any way that you know of to get zenoss to monitor more than one IP when a
box has two nics? I have a box with two ips, with different services
running on each ip, I want to monitor all the services, but of course,
zenoss only recognizes the services on the primary ip.

HE (CREIHT) POSTED BACK HIS OWN ANSWER
--------------------------------------
Well if anyone is interested, you can bind snmpd to multiple ips with the
agentaddress configuration setting

It appears that snmp by default will bind to all available interfaces, but
if you have secondary ips for a single interface, it will not bind to
those by default
