This computer is on a network with dynamically assigned IP
address (DHCP).
So shouldn't the 10.1.101.52 address have been reported?
It results in all addresses you hostname resolvs to. On all
desktop linux machines /etc/hosts is configured to resolve
hostname to "localhost" by default. On servers it usually
resolves to externally accessible one.
