Henrik,

Thank you very much for the solution and thank you for being timely!

I couldn't have asked for a better solution or better answer.  The above
information was simply perfect.  Thank you very very much!

identifier,
nothing more.  I have a lot of "fake" hostnames that are catching
wildcards
on domains that are resolving to undesired IP addresses.
Add a "testip" tag on these hosts in the bb-hosts file. Or if you want
this to cover all hosts, edit the hobbitlaunch.cfg file and add the
--dns=ip option to the bbtest-net command.

Henrik
