Your box a multi-homed server ?
I think thats because then setup-service runs:
/usr/bin/dns-sd -L ${name} ${type} ${domain} > $TMP_FILE
on multi-homed servers this returns multiple lines which the grep
later on matches on, instead of just one line to match. Its part of
the installadm tools not being multi-homed aware:
6182 installadm tools doesn't support install servers which have mutiple
subnets
