I set it up to monitor a second laptop, collected some data, and then shut
down the laptop. I have not received any bbtest errors related to the
second test unit yet. I also checked the DNS setting on the Hobbit server.
It was checking the W2k3 DC first, then a OS X server second. I removed the
OS X server and have not seen anymore errors about resolving for my laptop.

Any DHCP client should release it's lease on exit (ie shutdown). This means that in a dynamic DNS setup (which you probably have) you'll find that once the client shuts down the name stops being resolvable.
