I am having a problem with out of the 600 or so hosts I have right now and
it is very odd.

The four hosts in bb-hosts look like this:

166.47.52.23                    MIREGA-XYP                      # conn
166.46.11.1                     NRKANG-XYP                      # conn
166.42.132.19                   ALMMGA-AI                       #conn
166.39.161.143                  ORLLFL-AI                       # conn

The all 4 show up as red on the web page, but with not those IP addresses.
As a matter of fact the IPs they show as aren't anywhere in my bb-hosts
file.
Hobbit always performs a DNS lookup on the hostname, and will use the IP
address returned by that lookup. So my first thought would be that
the wrong IP's are in your DNS (or /etc/hosts file).

You can override the DNS lookup by adding "testip" to the entries in 
the bb-hosts file.
