Larry you are correct! Thanks!
My next question is why is it using DNS instead of the bb-hosts file? Is
there a way to make it only use the bb-hosts file and not rely on DNS at
all? I always thought it used bb-hosts first. I don't want to have to add
testip to every line in the file if possible.

What happens if you put "testip" in your bb-hosts file?
I suspect you might find that the names are being resolved incorrectly
by DNS, try an nslookup from you BBNET machine, and see what you get.

I am having a problem with out of the 600 or so hosts I have right now
and it is very odd.
The four hosts in bb-hosts look like this:
166.47.52.23 MIREGA-XYP #
conn 166.46.11.1 NRKANG-XYP #
conn 166.42.132.19 ALMMGA-AI #conn 166.39.161.143 ORLLFL-AI # conn
The all 4 show up as red on the web page, but with not those IP
addresses. As a matter of fact the IPs they show as aren't anywhere in my
bb-hosts file. The emails that are generated even have the wrong IPs as well, they
look like this:
red Fri Sep 16 10:09:39 2005 conn NOT ok Service conn on ALMMGA-AI is not OK : Host does not respond to ping System unreachable for 9552 poll periods (3195617 seconds) &red 10.8.2.126 is unreachable
red Fri Sep 16 10:09:39 2005 conn NOT ok Service conn on MIREGA-XYP is not OK : Host does not respond to ping System unreachable for 9552 poll periods (3195617 seconds) &red 166.47.118.231 is unreachable
As you can see those aren't the IPs in the bb-hosts file. I have
commented out the lines in the bb-hosts file and done a:
bb 127.0.0.1 "drop MIREGA-XYP" for all of the hosts. This got rid of
them, but when I put them back in, they came right back red with the same
bad IPs.
What could possibly be causing this?
Thanks Wes
