Does the system also have a "name" for use inside the network? Your message
prompted me to clean my saved passwords of old entries and I found entries
for a few internal systems using 2 different IPs and 2 or 3 names (complete
FQDN and single name minus the domain) all pointing to the same box.
Leftovers from bringing test systems into production. We frequently name our
test machines using the HOSTS file on our work boxes until we add them to the
internal DNS just prior to putting them in production. If we don't clean the
HOSTS file the old name keeps on working if the machine was destined for
internal use and keeps the same IP.
