I think that would be:

1.2.3.4 host.net # conn testip
0.0.0.0 host.net # noconn ssh

This would make the ping test ping 1.2.3.4, and the ssh test would be 
the DNS ip of host.net.  I don't think Hobbit "likes" when you do that 
though, I know if you have duplicate hostnames it makes hobbitest turn 
yellow and fuss at you :)
