Description

In /etc/hosts, the firewall's hostname is entered once for each interface IP. This leaves you with a round robin DNS on that hostname, such as:
hamakua.buechler.local. 1 IN A 192.168.4.2
hamakua.buechler.local. 1 IN A 10.0.64.120
hamakua.buechler.local. 1 IN A 192.168.22.1
hamakua.buechler.local. 1 IN A 192.168.2.1
hamakua.buechler.local. 1 IN A 192.168.3.1

In 1.2.x and earlier, only the LAN IP is entered in hosts. Many users rely on this behavior, and returning a round robin record is a bit silly.
