tcpd is resolving the hostname that you are telnetting in from. You can
either change your host.conf file to read: order hosts,bind (this will
check your /etc/hosts file first) or you can look at your bind configuration.
If you are connected to the internet or are relying on other internal name
servers, make sure that either your named is authoritative for your
domain, or your /etc/named.boot has a forwarders line pointing to a server
that is authoritative for your domain. (And the machine you are
telnetting in from is in the database)
If you are not connected to the internet, and are the only name server on
your network, make sure that there are no forwarders in your
/etc/named.boot and that the cache file listed in /etc/named.boot does not
have any entries. If it does, then named will try to query the forwarder
or one of the root nameservers listed in the cache file.
After you have made the changes, run /usr/sbin/named.reload, and all
should be well.
