Hello all,
 I have entered the same host in bb-hosts several times to build different
views and I am getting these error messages now in bbtest:

Error output:
Host server1 appears twice in bb-hosts! This may cause strange results
1) is this a big problem?
It might be - if you have different network test definitions for each
"server1" entry you will get some very weird results.

2) If it is not a problem, can I shut this error off?
Make sure only one definition per hostname lists network tests. All 
others for the same hostname should have the keyword "noconn" only.

3) Am I taking the wrong approach to build different views by putting same
host in bb-hosts several times?
You could use "pagesets" (see the bbgen man-page), but it is OK to
have duplicates in bb-hosts as long as you do it the right way.
