"noconn noinfo" for the host in bb-hosts, for the custom tests, you have
to make them awae of "nomytest" tags. How you do that depends on how the
script is made. 

As an example, I have a test called "kind" that runs on the hobbit server and
does checks for all machines with real IP-adresses (that is, all lines that
begin with a number between 1 and 9 in bb-hosts) except those with "nokind".

   HOSTIP="${1}"
   MACHINEDOTS="${2}"
   MACHINE="${MACHINEDOTS//./,}"

   COLOR="green"
   SUMMARY="OK"

   MSG=$(${PERL} ${BBHOME}/ext/kind.pl ${MACHINEDOTS} ${HOSTIP})

   # Replace OK/WARNING/FATAL with corresponding color dots
   MSG=$(echo "${MSG}" | ${SED} 's:^OK:\&green:g ; s:^WARNING:\&yellow:g ; s:^FATAL:\&red:g')

   echo "${MSG}" | ${GREP} -q "&yellow" && COLOR="yellow" && SUMMARY="Not OK"
   echo "${MSG}" | ${GREP} -q "&red" && COLOR="red" && SUMMARY="Error"

   ${BB} ${BBDISP} "status ${MACHINE}.${COLUMN} ${COLOR} $(date): ${SUMMARY}

   ${MSG}"
done
exit 0
