Hi, Brian.

I do not have that problem on my system:

===
$ uname -a
NetBSD violin.my.domain 6.1.4 NetBSD 6.1.4 (GENERIC) amd64
$ grep piano /etc/hosts
192.168.98.1    piano.my.domain piano
$ getent hosts piano
192.168.98.1      piano.my.domain  piano
===

I have not built a custom kernel, and I have not built the base system
from source.  Everything is from the install ISO or NetBSD build
tarballs.
