Hi all
 
I am setting up some groups in my bb-hosts file, to group my servers
accorfing to function.
 
However, I have a few servers that serve multiple roles, and as such,
should appear in more than one group.
When I do this, bbtest gets a little upset, and tells me this may cause
strange results.
 
How strange is strange?
Is there a way of doing this which is acceptable to bbtest?
Put all of the network tests and other definitions on one of your host
entries, then make all of the duplicates like this:

   0.0.0.0 hostname # noconn
