There's your problem.  Build xhost with nameserver support and your
problems go away.  We had the same problem until I realized that xhost
couldn't tell that the machine had more than one address, so of course
it was passing only one to the server.

So compile it with a modern netdb.h and link with a version of
gethostbyname() that supports resolver lookups, and all your problems
are solved.  (Well, this one is solved, at least.)

If you can't do that for whatever reason, all I can suggest is running
xhost twice, once with one address and once with the other.  For
example, the machine here I alluded to above has addresses 132.206.1.1
and 132.206.4.3, so I would run

% xhost +132.206.1.1
% xhost +132.206.4.3

to install both addresses on the server.  (Except I don't need to now
because I've rebuilt xhost.)
