[hobbit] Very Weird ping issue

[Wes Neal]

Larry you are correct!  Thanks!

My next question is why is it using DNS instead of the bb-hosts file?  Is
there a way to make it only use the bb-hosts file and not rely on DNS at
all?  I always thought it used bb-hosts first.  I don't want to have to add
testip to every line in the file if possible.

What happens if you put "testip" in your bb-hosts file? 

I suspect you might find that the names are being resolved incorrectly
by DNS, try an nslookup from you BBNET machine, and see what you get.

Thanks,
