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.

Thanks.
