Is there any reason you would want anything more than one line in your bb-hosts file on the client? Does the client have to have an IP address, or could you use the DNS name? If I can use the DNS name, why wouldn't I want to do that? It almost looks like if I set the address to 0.0.0.0, it will use the DNS name? Or at least the name I have in bb-hosts. Obviously, if DNS is down that is a problem, any others?

insert real IP below

127.0.0.1 hobbit # BBNET BBPAGER BBDISPLAY

Sorry, that is anything but clear. I am talking about an entry like this which I think forces the BB client to use DNS.

0.0.0.0 hobbit # BBNET BBPAGER BBDISPLAY
