My hosts and ipnodes are indeed one and the same. See the cmp..

# The netmasks file associates Internet Protocol (IP) address
# masks with IP network numbers.
#
#       network-number  netmask
#
# The term network-number refers to a number obtained from the Internet
Network
# Information Center.
#
# Both the network-number and the netmasks are specified in
# "decimal dot" notation, e.g:
#
#               128.32.0.0 255.255.255.0
#
192.168.1.0     255.255.255.0
# cmp /etc/hosts /etc/inet/ipnodes
# netstat -rn

Routing Table: IPv4

-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ---------- ---------
224.0.0.0            127.0.0.1            U         1          0 lo0
127.0.0.1            127.0.0.1            UH        1         44 lo0


I'm not sure if removing the ::1 entry will help. It has been there before
the problem arose.
