I've got a 10.2 machine with bsd and aegis combo on it, and I'm having
a bizarre problem with resolving hostnames from /etc/hosts


There's a network host that's number is 126.0.0.1, and its name is 'gateway1'.
If I type:

     % rlogin gateway1
It tries and times out, no connection.

If I type:

    % rlogin 126.0.0.1
It immediately connects.

If I try to access a node that requires a few gateway hops, I always get the
'network unreachable', although routed is running, etc.

Anyone familiar with this?
Thanks,
Scott Ferguson
