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

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.
