New IP breaks hobbit 🔗 link

So... While I was on vacation for a week, someone changed the IP address
of the machine that I run Hobbit on, and of course everyone else is now
out sick, so I have no idea why. I came back to Hobbit rather pissed
off. I changed its IP in bb-hosts and hobbitserver.cfg but after I
restarted it, it loads all of the alerts purple. I'm running RC5 on a
Gentoo machine with a 2.6 kernel, and didn't see this as a documented
bug. While I noticed that RC6 is out, I'm playing catch up from vacation
and won't have time to upgrade just yet. Just thought I'd ask if I was
missing something easy... Do I have to change the IP elsewhere? Thanks
:)

Ok, scratch that. I removed some logs and forced things to reupdate
after that and it's happier. I've still got a number of red alerts
because I've got routes that don't allow things in this block to talk to
other things, but that's a whole other mess. Thanks anyway.

Give a little time and see if it recovers. This behavior was changed in RC6
by request

[changing IP of the Hobbit server]

Doing the change in hobbitserver.cfg and the bb-hosts files and then
restarting Hobbit should be enough, although I must say that it's not
something I've tried.
