That was an omission on my part - fixed now.

I have it just the other way around :-) I'd rather not have to remember
IP's for all of my hosts - that's what DNS is for. So had it not been
for compatibility with the BB bb-hosts format, I'd probably have removed
the IP address entirely from bb-hosts.
