Probably need some of the coder types to answer this one for me. For the
different network tests, where does Xymon get the IP address from?

If the host has a "testip", Xymon uses the IP in bb-hosts.

Otherwise it tries a DNS lookup on the hostname, and uses the IP returned
from that. If the DNS lookup fails, it will fall back to the IP listed in
bb-hosts.
