I also put in the correct ip on my main server but use NET:location tags
as I test other services other than ping from the proxy server.
Thanks,
Craig

One question I didn't get answered (or, if I did, I missed it!)
What IP address do I list in the bb-hosts file for the servers (the
ones
it can't really see, but the proxy can)?
Since I can't ping those hosts from my main BB server, but I still
want
those hosts listed- I'm a bit confused.. :-)
I'd put in the real IP-address, even though you cannot talk to it from
your Hobbit server, and then a "noconn" so that Hobbit doesn't try to
ping it from the normal server.
The reason I put in the real IP is because this shows up in various
places, e.g. the "info" column. And it's nice to have at hand when you
need to do something with the system.
