Not quite. But almost as bad.
bge1 had also been configured in the past, but I didn't think it
mattered since I had blown away the DHCP config and recreated it since
disabling bge1. I figured any record DHCP had of that interface and IP
were wiped when the config was wiped.
getent hosts `hostname` returned 172.30.172.21, which is what bge1 used
to use.
I've always thought that decoupling /etc/nodename from
/etc/hostname.abcX was a good idea, but since Solaris did that, I've
often wondered what (other than 'hostname' and the login prompt) used
the contents of /etc/nodename in a way like this. I hadn't found
anything until today. It's good to know.
Thanks for all the help.
