I set it up to monitor a second laptop, collected some data, and then shut down the laptop. I have not received any bbtest errors related to the second test unit yet. I also checked the DNS setting on the Hobbit server. It was checking the W2k3 DC first, then a OS X server second. I removed the OS X server and have not seen anymore errors about resolving for my laptop.

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.
Any DHCP client should release it's lease on exit (ie shutdown). This means that in a dynamic DNS setup (which you probably have) you'll find that once the client shuts down the name stops being resolvable.
