You will have to ask Henrik about why Hobbit doesn't use the bb-hosts
settings.
You don't have to enter testip on every line, you can just define a
".default." host at the the top of your bb-hosts file and put testip in
there.

Larry you are correct! Thanks!
My next question is why is it using DNS instead of the bb-hosts file?
Is there a way to make it only use the bb-hosts file and not rely on DNS
at all? I always thought it used bb-hosts first. I don't want to have
to add testip to every line in the file if possible.

What happens if you put "testip" in your bb-hosts file?
I suspect you might find that the names are being resolved
incorrectly by DNS, try an nslookup from you BBNET machine, and see what you get.
