Hobbit DNS queries

[Darren.Cotton at ses-astra.com]

I've modified hobbitlaunch.cfg and bb-hosts as follows:

[bbnet]
        ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse --dns=ip
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log
        INTERVAL 5m

page network1   Network Connectivity
group-compress  <H3>Network Connectivity</H3>
0.0.0.0           .default.               # testip
172.17.1.3  HSRP-INTERN2      #
172.17.1.2  HSRP-INTERN1      #
...

but using tcp dump I still see an excessive number of DNS queries some of
which are causing errors in my firewall

Firewall log:
Internal error: unexpected server response (UDP: 212.56.224.20
/53->212.56.225.37/10107) received
