Remember, this all started from noticing that a network configuration
that might even be common on Solaris can cause a mixture of short and
long hostnames when gmond does the name lookup from the IP in the
multicast data. If your primary query node goes down or is unreachable

That isn't possible, in the general case. FQDN is a
That solution would be fine also, I didn't mean to imply that ganglia
should be using bind, just meant to offer it as one possible solution.
As long as the hostnames that ganglia gets from the IPs are consistently
in the fqdn format then it would be better than the current situation
which results
An amazing variety of things are keyed off an /etc/hosts entry in Solaris
(including network interface configuration, if memory serves). This man
speaks the truth.
However, I put it to you, world, that if this has only popped up on Sun
boxes, a better solution might be to quietly change solar
I noticed a potential problem that results from the use of the
gethostbyXXX functions. We have a small group of Sun file servers that
we want to monitor with ganglia. The problem originates from having an
/etc/hosts file that includes an entry for your local host that has both
the short and fqdn
