[hobbit] Hobbit DNS queries

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?

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

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

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.
