Hi Pierre

maybe you can use the "prefer" tag in bb-hosts :

prefer
    When a single host is defined multiple time in the bb-hosts file,
    bbgen tries to guess which definition is the best to use for the
    information used on the "info" column, or for the NOPROPRED and
    other bbgen-specific settings. Host definitions that have a "noconn"
    tag or an IP of 0.0.0.0 get lower priority.

    By using the "prefer" tag you tell bbgen that this host definition
    should be used.

    Note: This only applies to hosts that are defined multiple times in
    the bb-hosts file, although it will not hurt to add it on other
    hosts as well.
