I'm seeing an unusual problem that I haven't been able to track down.  It is
largely cosmetic, but becomes a bit of an annoyance in logs..

Basically, imediately after a reboot any connections to localhost referenced
by the FQDN are logged as being from the FQDN.  i.e.  a telnet to
conundrum.com from conundrum.com is logged as such.  However, I've noticed
that after some variable period of time, that same telnet session will be
logged as being from 'localhost'.  A reboot clears this right up.

Any guesses what might be causing this?

Possibly relevant info:

FreeBSD 2.2-961014-SNAP
Running 'routed -q' and a local named.

conundrum:/etc# cat hosts
207.207.191.130         conundrum.com conundrum
127.0.0.1               localhost

conundrum:/etc# cat host.conf 
bind
hosts

conundrum:/etc# cat resolv.conf 
domain          conundrum.com
nameserver      207.207.191.130
nameserver      207.207.191.193
nameserver      207.34.206.2

If any other info would be helpful, just let me know.  Replies CCed to Email,
