Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Why don't you simply put something like the following in
/etc/httpd/conf.d/bb.conf:
#
# Big Brother is a web based network monitoring program
#
Alias /bb /home/bb/bb/www
<Directory /home/bb/bb/www/>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.1
allow from 192.168.0
</Directory>
Season to taste of course.
That way you do not have to mess with symlinks.

That sounds like the piece I was missing.
Thanks.

That is a standard bb setup, so it should work for most.
