I'm getting random DNS errors on URL's from Hobbit.
There appears to be nothing wrong with DNS.
This is causing pages on production systems, and I'm
getting complaints from folks. I really need a work around
for this.
Hobbit can hit DNS servers pretty hard, causing DNS lookups to
fail when they really should succeed. I always recommend that
you install a local caching DNS server for Hobbit, if you have
an installation with 100+ hosts.
Also, you could try running bbtest-net with the "--no-ares" option
to use the standard resolver library of your OS instead of Hobbit's
built-in DNS lookup code.
