Problem with CLIENT option in bb-hosts

[Charles Jones]

I have a hobbit setup where I have in my bb-hosts:

1.2.3.4 virtual.mydomain.com   # CLIENT:realhostname.mydomain.com
...
1.2.3.5 realhostname.mydomain.com # conn ssh disk cpu
---

The problem I am experiencing is that the client data columns are 
displayed for "realhostname.mydomain.com", but they are not displayed 
for "virtual.mydomain.com".

---snip - bb-hosts man page ---
CLIENT:hostname
    Defines an alias for a host, which will be used when identifying
    status messages. This is typically used to accomodate a local client
    that sends in status reports with a different hostname, e.g. if you
    use hostnames with domains in your Hobbit configuration, but the
    client is a silly Window box that does not include the hostname. Or
    vice versa. Whatever the reason, this can be used to match status
    reports with the hosts you define in your bb-hosts file. It causes
    incoming status reports with the specified hostname to be filed
    using the hostname defined in bb-hosts.
------

 From reading this, the behavior I expect is that you can alias a host 
to another hostname, and you should get all the same data as the other 
hostname...is that wrong?

P.S. I also tried using "NAME:hostname", but that had the effect of 
changing realhostname.mydomain.com to virtual.mydomain.com on other 
pages, which is not what I want.
