[hobbit] How to use an IP when the FQDN exists for a host ?

[Jeremy Ruffer]

testip should do it.  It suppresses the DNS lookup.

1.2.3.4    smtp.domain.com # testip smtp

Subject: [hobbit] How to use an IP when the FQDN exists for a host ?

Hi all,

I have an entry in my bb-hosts for an smtp server :
1.2.3.4    smtp.domain.com # smtp

but the smtp.domain.com is resolved with a different IP, so the check is

done with the
IP that comes from the DNS resolution.

is there a way to use the IP ? (I'd like to keep the name).

thanks
