Actually, Hobbit doesn't use the IP for any matching of client data with the hosts that Hobbit knows about. This all happens based on the hostname that the client reports, and the hostnames in the bb-hosts file.
Ah, right. IP is just for network tests then, correct?
Yes, and even there Hobbit will - by default - do a DNS lookup on the hostname, and use the IP returned from the DNS server, instead of the one in the bb-hosts file.
The IP in the bb-hosts file is only used if there is a "testip" tag on the host, or the DNS lookup fails.
