Is this the correct behavior?
Yes.
Am I missing something?
Yes. testip. When the ip and domain-name conflict, dns is used unless
the testip option is specified.
Thanks. Works like a charm. Is there doc on that? The bb-hosts manpage
refers to testip functionality only when stating that the http tests
ignore it. My perusing of the list archives seemed to indicate that
Hobbit used the bb-hosts IP address unless it was 0.0.0.0, in which case
it did a lookup. Which makes more sense to me than the actual behavior of
having to tag the line to get the IP address on it to be used for
anything.
