I'm happy to report most of a resolution to this issue.

I'll share my debug steps.

I felt pretty good that the Testpoint nodes were setup correct (I was 
wrong and I'll get to that).
The Archive host had more moving parts, so I thought the issue would 
likely be there.

Since the process is quite automatic now, (thanks Mark F!), I quickly 
built a 3x3 grid on campus systems with direct internet access. 
Everything just came up as I expected!  The archive showed traffic.  
(however I do think there remains a bug somewhere, as the RTT grid never 
shows the host names or grid)

Pretty much confirmed that the Testpoints weren't talking to the Archive 
host.  WHY???

Being lazy, on the home net, I would just use the simple hostname for 
all the systems and in json files.  The nodes on campus all had full 
valid FQDN names.  Fixed up the json file, swapped out hostnames for 
FQDNs and insured the Testpoints had full FQDNs for their hostnames.

Restarted everything and green squares glowed from the Grafana 
dashboards.  (though the RTT quadrant doesn't show at home either)

Thanks for bearing with me and I hope this helps someone else.

Phil
