It should go like this:

0.0.0.0        .default.     # testip
166.47.52.23   MIREGA-XYP    # conn  
166.46.11.1    NRKANG-XYP    # conn  
<all of your other bb-hosts entries>

Because 99% of the services that a host provides will be reached via
DNS. So if the host is unreachable via its DNS entry, something is broken
and I want to know about it.

Hobbit does use the IP adresses from the bb-hosts file, but only if
the hostname cannot be resolved via DNS or /etc/hosts.
