As I recall, this is due to having a CNAME in your DNS system
set up wrong. I ran across this and fixed it. I think the new
O'Reilly book: DNS and BIND is the one that gave me the pointer.
I think you need to have the host name be the canonical name
of the host. But this was a long time ago, so I am not sure.
