[hobbit] Changed IP address

[Jeffrey Chandler]

Thanks.  using the testip option worked.  However, I am curious where within
hobbit it is pulling the DNS information from.  Each of the DNS servers in
/etc/resolv.conf resolves the IP properly and they are authoritative for the
domain.  Is there a cache which Hobbit uses first?
