Hi all,

In Hobbit 4.20 is there a way to set up a test from an internal network to test http of an outside host, such as a DSL router?   Cavaet:  A proxy server is required to get out and also the DSL is a dynamic IP.  This is on Solaris10.

I currently have a line similar to this in the bbhost file.   NSLOOKUP to the real host name works but ping fails (of course) since there is no host file entry.

0.0.0.0 DSL1 # noconn https://dsl1.dyndns.biz:8080

Can anyone provide a detailed example of how to accomplish this?
