Problem solved thanks - I also then found the explanation in the bb-hosts man page explaining its usage. 
Thanks again,

Just use the conn I use this set up for hosts with multiple Ips: 
172.17.3.22   xx.dom.org # ssh conn=worst,172.17.3.22,172.17.24.10

Subject: [hobbit] Hosts with multiple IP's + scheduling standard hosts 
Hi,  
I've searched the archive as well as online but couldn't find a concrete
answer.  
How can I monitor hosts that have multiple IP Addresses? 
Currently we assign a 'virtual hostname' to each IP: 
IP Hostname_a
IP Hostname_b
IP Hostanme_c etc. 

I'm sure there muct be a simpler way. 

Secondly, I've seen posts that explain how to schedule checks and alerts for
'critical' hosts with "NKTIME", but is there a way to schedule check of all
hosts without adding them to a 'critical' list? 
We only want to check certain hosts 19:00 - 06:00 M-F for example. 

Thanks,
Mario
