the right script, but there was no visible indication of the failure.

The logic behind the hostname ending up on the local address line is probably
the fact that /etc/hosts is used _locally_, and locally a good place to contact
oneself is the local interface.

Coda protocol embeds the servers' ip numbers (from each server's point
of view) thus exporting unsuitable information to the clients.
The problem will disappear when it will be the clients who resolve
the server's fqdn to the corresponding ip number (a planned change, afaik).
