Make sure that /etc/inet/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes have the same
contents.  These sorts of problems (and more) occur when those two
files are different.

In a future release of Solaris, /etc/inet/ipnodes will be going away
and will be just a symlink to the 'hosts' file.

(At one point, it was believed that we needed to have separate files
for IPv4 and IPv6, which is why this file exists.  That turns out not
to be the case.)
