More than 90% of our systems are in private address space, and I have seen no
particular issues with this vs public address space.
Just be aware that by default Hobbit will do a DNS lookup for the hostname in
the bb-hosts file. So, if you have public DNS for the hostname, then you may
have problems ... in which case use the 'testip' flag for that host (there
may also be an option to make this the default).
