You can have as many hosts doing network tests as you like; as long as
they report to the same Hobbit server, the results will be merged
together.

I'm not sure if your setup is such that you can perform all network tests
for a given host from one Hobbit network test-system, or if you must
split the testing so that "conn" tests run from one host, and "oratns"
tests run from another.

If it's the first, then you can use the "NET:..." tags in the bb-hosts
file to split the network tests between the two Hobbit systems. If it's
the latter, then you will have to hand-craft a specific bb-hosts file
for the AH system with just the ssh- and oratns-tests.
