"isn't working" could mean a lot of different things.
What is your setup?
What is the expected behaviour?
What is the observed behaviour?

"I'm running merlin with 2 pollers and 1 noc. The pollers are
getting updated, but the checkresults never seem to reach the
noc server" would be one way to disambiguate that "it isn't
working" in a way that would be meaningful to me.

Are you running different versions of merlin on the various
instances?  The protocol hasn't really changed, but later versions
have some different capabilities. Since we're not at 1.0 yet, I've
foregone backwards-compatibility as far as capabilities are
concerned. I've still retained protocol compatibility ofcourse.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
