<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=014032400-07092007>I have hosts that
appear multiple times in bb-hosts. I pick one instance and give that the
"prefer" tag and the real IP address. Other (secondary) instances have an
IP of 0.0.0.0 and do not have the "prefer" tag.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=014032400-07092007>Is
it adviseable to also put "noconn" on each of the secondary
instances? I currently have done that, but would like to remove it if it's
a useless thing. But then, I would want to leave "noconn" in place if that
prevents Hobbit from excessively pinging a server with multiple
instances.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

my scenerio, or is it actually doing something useful for me? I wouldn't
know where to check to see if it's preventing excessive pings or
not.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
