Maybe I'm missing something obvious.  Any help would be appreciated.

I recently upgraded to version 2.17.0 from 2.14.7.  Since then, cfgmaker 
is reporting an error when I try to build the configuration for our router.

It works properly if I use any of several (I didn't try all 22) of the 
router's IP addresses ("[email protected]" -> 
"[email protected]").  It works properly if I use the name of one of 
my switches ("[email protected]").  nslookup (or dig) 
properly find the IP addresses for the router name.  (nsswitch.conf 
indicates hosts should first be looked up in files and then dns.)

I don't want to switch to using an IP address as the IP address (vs 
hostname) gets used throughout, making things less intelligible.

The OS is Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.0.4 LTS).
