prashant-

there are two way to go here.

1.) just make your webserver gmond "mute" by adding the line

mute on

to you /etc/gmond.conf file.  when the gmond is mute is will stop talking 
on the multicast channel and will not appear in the list of hosts.

2.) don't run gmond locally but rather plug gmetad into a remote gmond.  
to do this change you /etc/gmetad.conf data source to point to the new 
remote machine.  keep in mind that the remote machine will have to "trust" 
your web server.  to do that.. add the following line to the remote 
machines /etc/gmond.conf

trusted_hosts <web server ip>

or if you are on a secure net

all_trusted on

will allow any host to get the info from gmond.

good luck!
