Hmmm, sounds like your box is "confused" about which IP is which. From inside
the box (logged in via ssh/telnet) enter "host www.uhostme.com and also
host www.uhostme.net, then do the same thing for the two IP addresses and see
if the answers match correctly. Something in the network configuration has
it reading the wrong interface or reporting incorrectly. That sendmail line
works fine for my boxes here and they each "answer" with their own name.
