[hobbit] Route Question

[Geoff Hallford]

Perfect, thanks. I just need someone's confirmation. I will disable alerting
later Today and give it a shot. I will let the list know, so that other can
know as well.

I think that should probably be added to the bb-hosts man page for the
"route:" tag, since it doesn't explain that this can work and is much better
to do.

Geoff.
