Most of us here put a DNS server right on the Hobbit server.  I'd suggest
trying that in a cache-only configuration.

 My hobbit server is pounding our dns servers with thousands of requests
even though every host in bb-hosts is also in the /etc/hosts file.  Anyone
seen this? I have removed any dns entries from the /etc/resolv.cof file and
edited the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to only look at the hosts file for
lookups.  I am still seeing hundreds of lookup per minuet..
