Actually, Hobbit doesn't use the IP for any matching of client data with

Ah, right. IP is just for network tests then, correct?
Yes, and even there Hobbit will - by default - do a DNS lookup on the
hostname, and use the IP returned from the DNS server, instead of the
one in the bb-hosts file.
The IP in the bb-hosts file is only used if there is a "testip" tag on
the host, or the DNS lookup fails.
