I'm running resolver libraries on a Sun server.  When I get mail from
some sites or a telnet is done from some sites, I get a message similar
to the following at the console.
	gethostbyaddr: <host.name> != <ip.addr>
Where <host.name> is the  abc.abc.abc.abc name
and <ip.addr> is the 123.123.123.123 ip number.

!= implies not equal however the ip number and host name that are given
are indeed the correct corresponding ipnumber and hostname (they are 
resolved correctly when you get ipnumber from hostname).

Does anyone know what I can do to either 1) correct this or 2) suppress
the message?
