This really isn't a bug, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it.

I am trying to run the zephyr servers on several suns here with 2
interfaces (FDDI and Ethernet).  The problem is that when the servers
try to start talking to each other, things break.  I have put in a
patch to kopt.c which uses /etc/hosts to check addresses if they are
not already equal.  However, it seems that things are breaking farther
up, when a notice for a brain dump comes in.  The address which is extracted
from the notice (the address of the notice sender), does not match the
sin_addr that the notice came from (a variable called who).  This all
takes place in bdump.c.  It seems that the sender put the wrong
address into the notice, but I don't know why.

Have you ever heard of anyone who has run zephyr servers on
multiple-homed hosts?

Thanks in advance,
-Scott Dawson
