[hobbit] Very Weird ping issue

[Larry.Barber at usda.gov]

You will have to ask Henrik about why Hobbit doesn't use the bb-hosts
settings. 

You don't have to enter testip on every line, you can just define a
".default." host at the the top of your bb-hosts file and put testip in
there.

Thanks,
Larry Barber
