No, "bbd" checks the Hobbit daemon's network interface. "hobbitd" just
provides some statistics about all of Hobbit, and goes red/yellow if any
problems are logged to the hobbitd logfiles.

Check the IP that your client is configured to send reports to. When you
are using the msgcache/hobbitfetch combo, then BBDISP on your clients
should be 127.0.0.1, instead of the IP of your real Hobbit server.
