The 2nd and 3rd entries are the primary and secondary DNS of my ISP. Something changed during the upgrade to woody, since doma is still able to do 'ssh -l mattyt igra', whereas igra can't do 'ssh -l mattyt doma' anymore, although using the IP address works. And, ssh under igra must be reading one of the /etc/hosts files, since the error says, "ssh: doma.mattyt.net: Name or service not known", when all I typed in for the host was doma, not doma.mattyt.net.
