Does it need to be in " " like that? I added a .default. # testip and it did not work.

It should go like this:

0.0.0.0 .default. # testip 166.47.52.23 MIREGA-XYP # conn
166.46.11.1 NRKANG-XYP # conn
<all of your other bb-hosts entries>

You will have to ask Henrik about why Hobbit doesn't use the bb-hosts settings.

Because 99% of the services that a host provides will be reached via DNS. So if the host is unreachable via its DNS entry, something is broken and I want to know about it.

Hobbit does use the IP adresses from the bb-hosts file, but only if the hostname cannot be resolved via DNS or /etc/hosts.
