[hobbit] Hobbit DNS queries

[Darren.Cotton at ses-astra.com]

http checks are ok using dns. I am sure it is the 0.0.0.0 addresses causing
some of my problems.

Therefore for the hosts configured with 0.0.0.0 etc.. should I put a real
value in the bb-hosts instead with the noconn/noping option to stop the dns
queries?

Any http checks in your bb-hosts file ? These will use DNS, regardless
of --dns=ip or testip settings. If you don't want that, use the
"http://www.foo.com=1.2.3.4/" syntax (see bb-hosts(5)).

Also, hosts with an IP of "0.0.0.0" (or other invalid IP adresses) will
trigger a DNS lookup.
