Multiple host entries 🔗 link

Hello all,
 I have entered the same host in bb-hosts several times to build different
views and I am getting these error messages now in bbtest:

Error output:
Host server1 appears twice in bb-hosts! This may cause strange results
Host server2 appears twice in bb-hosts! This may cause strange results
Host server3 appears twice in bb-hosts! This may cause strange results
Host server4 appears twice in bb-hosts! This may cause strange results


1) is this a big problem?

2) If it is not a problem, can I shut this error off?

3) Am I taking the wrong approach to build different views by putting same
host in bb-hosts several times?


Any input appreciated


Thanks 
 Kevin

It might be - if you have different network test definitions for each
"server1" entry you will get some very weird results.

2) If it is not a problem, can I shut this error off?

Make sure only one definition per hostname lists network tests. All 
others for the same hostname should have the keyword "noconn" only.

You could use "pagesets" (see the bbgen man-page), but it is OK to
have duplicates in bb-hosts as long as you do it the right way.
