I'll have to give that a try today. I believe the Hobbit box is configured to use the Windows DC for DNS. If it is then that could either be the problem, or the resolution. Since the Windows DC would have the last DHCP address cached in DNS it should provide resolution.
Being a Unix/Linux newbie I need to spend some more time with the MAN pages and figure out the little quirks.

Ok, so that did work as planned, however, bbtest is yellow with the following

Can you normally do a lookup for it when it's offline (that is, do you use dynamic DNS for these hosts)?
