I create the bb-hosts file using syntax like this

0.0.0.0 hostname.domain.com  #ftp telnet

This (at least from what I understand) tells the server process to lookup the IP in DNS and connect their.  If my assumption is correct, I would love to see the info page reflect the DNS IP address that was resolved (and not 0.0.0.0).

The bb-infocolumn tool now does a DNS lookup and puts the found
IP-address on the info-page.
