Re: [hobbit] client talks to bbd@127.0.0.1:1984 ?!

just for kicks, I installed bind-utils package. same results.  I md5sum the
RPM to check with the original, and it matched. I re-installed the package.
same results. am running out of idea here now.
Next, I'll try to trace system calls, to see where it gets the idea to use
localhost instead.
this is freakingly crazy, ahwww

client named web6 has "127.0.0.1        localhost.localdomain localhost"
server named moon has "127.0.0.1       moon    localhost moon.giggle.com"

The server works fine for a dozen of clients. This web6 client is the only
one has this behavior and not sure where it gets the idea it should connect
to localhost instead of the server I told it to in
/etcdefault/hobbit-client?!
