I changed the other server to use the mod_backhand from CVS and now 
everything works and provides sensible values - except for the CPU 
idle value: it is always 0.000 on all servers (while the load value 
changes).

You´re right. Should have done this. E420R and Fire 280R; both with 
Solaris 2.9.

I was trying to see if it would send stats only to the one denoted 
server. Indeed it worked, but it´s not intended to run this way.

Another question: how is the load of the servers calculated? Is it 
just the load in the moment when the stats are send or is there a 
way to get the average load of the last x minutes?

thanks in advance
