Hobbit will always do a DNS loookup on the hostname to find the IP
of your host - the IP in bb-hosts is only a fall-back measure.
If you want to force network tests to use the IP from bb-hosts, 
then add the "testip" keyword to the bb-hosts line, or run bbtest-net
with "--dns=ip"

This is unrelated, but it's an odd Unix system that does not have the
HOME environment variable defined ...
