When you define a host multiple times in the bb-hosts file, bbtest gives
a warning about strange results.
It's really very simple: Make sure only one of the definitions have
network tests defined - including the "conn" test that is enabled by
default for all hosts. So the way to have a host listed twice in
bb-hosts is to do it like this:

  10.0.0.1    myhost.foo.com  # ssh http://myhost.foo.com/
  10.0.0.1    myhost.foo.com  # noconn

If you do this, bbtest-net stays quiet and ignores the second
definition.
