Re: How should this work <general>

Thomas,

	I would recommend that you use PolyMix-3 and the step-by-step
instructions at http://www.measurement-factory.com/docs/PolyMix-3/ 
If you have to use PolyMix-2, try to follow these steps:
http://bakeoff.ircache.net/N02/howto.txt

It is difficult to say what is wrong with your setup based on the
information you have supplied. Here are a few guesses that might help:

	- Polygraph does not understand FQDNs yet, only IP addresses
	  must be used

	- If you have one PolyMix-2,3 robot only (one IP address),
	  you will get 0.4 req/sec load at most; create more
	  robots (preferrably via adding IP aliases) to increase
	  the load

	- Make sure you can talk to Polygraph servers from Polygraph
	  client machine using telnet

Good luck,

Alex.
