My Hobbit server sits behind a proxy server that requires authentication
before it will allow access to the internet. How do I test external hosts
(for http for instance) from here? Is there a way to pass credentials to the
proxy server to allow access?

See the bb-hosts man-page, in the section "HTTP Testing via proxy"
