glibc is operating like this shell script.
You can run it to check your system:

echo "
from socket import gethostname as hostname
from socket import gethostbyname as ip
for i in range(10):
    print ''.join('%02x' % int(x) for x in ip(hostname()).split('.'))
" | python | uniq -c

cheers,
P??draig.
