I'm working with two VMs, one a web server, one a MySQL database server.
In mysql, I added a 'user'@'172.16.1.2' with privileges appropriate for
the web site, and that works. The VMs got shipped off to a hosting
facility. They got the 172.16.1.X network between the two VMs up, but
when they try to "mysql -h 172.16.1.1 -uuser -p" and enter the password,
they get an error denying 'user'@'hostname'

Why is MySQL resolving the IPs? I figured it would be quicker to fix
that than it would be to look up the specific privileges for that user,
add 'user'@'hostname', and then go in and start modifying the config
(it's set in settings.php as well as several places in the httpd.conf)

I do have /etc/hosts entries on both VMs resolving both 172.16.1.1 / 2
to known hostnames.
