Netstat will report the first name on the line in the host table
(actually, the "official name" as returned by gethostbyaddr() which
will be the first name after the numeric address. See 'man gethostent'
for details.) You can change it if you like by just reordering the
names and rebuilding the yellow pages (cd /etc/yp;make).
