It also can be redhat lossage if you do gethostbyname("server1"); and
server1 is the local computer name and order (in /etc/host.conf) is
hosts,bind (or something like that).

This is since redhat add to a a line like this to your /etc/hosts
in their installation program:

127.0.0.0.1     localhost.localdomain localhost server1.yourdomain
