While I have found it is close to identical - something that my BB did not
do was resolve hostnames and monitor those addresses resolved.  I was always
able to monitor the IP address and the hostname acted as a host identifier,
nothing more.  I have a lot of "fake" hostnames that are catching wildcards
on domains that are resolving to undesired IP addresses.
Add a "testip" tag on these hosts in the bb-hosts file. Or if you want
this to cover all hosts, edit the hobbitlaunch.cfg file and add the
--dns=ip option to the bbtest-net command.
