I have hosts that appear multiple times in bb-hosts. I pick one instance and give that the "prefer" tag and the real IP address. Other (secondary) instances have an IP of 0.0.0.0 and do not have the "prefer" tag.

Is it adviseable to also put "noconn" on each of the secondary instances?

Yes, this does prevent extra pings. It also removes a warning that bbtest-net will issue, if there are multiple definitions of network tests for the same hostname.
