But some clients are only listed in the bb-hosts of 1 of the 2 hobbit

Did you see the "--ghosts={allow|drop|log}" setting for hobbitd?
"allow" seems to be what you want.
Actually you can also use BBGHOSTS in hobbitserver.cfg, which is more
convenient I think. The man page unhelpfully doesn't list what BBGHOSTS of
0 does, but the cfg file does, so... you want a BBGHOSTS of 0. Or make
sure the bb-hosts file are the same on both servers... It is designed so
that they can be.
It is not a ghost problem. I was expecting that the information will be send
to both BBDISPLAY servers and that they will decide what to do with the
information.
But that's not the case, it talks to the first BBDISPLAY server and only if
that server is accepting the information it is also send to the second
BBDISPLAY server.
