resolving multihomed ips



Does anyone know why my RH box won't work with multiple interface
machines? When I do an nslookup it returned multiple IP's, but whenever
I connect to that hostname, it never uses the first IP listed.

My machine is on 192.168.31.0 network, so I would like it to use the
192.168.31.23 interface. Take a look:

cfandre@kramer:/home/cfandre:503$ nslookup newman
Server:  dnsserver.clayswork.com
Address:  192.168.31.101

Name:    newman.clayswork.com
Addresses:  192.168.31.23, 192.168.23.22

But whenever I ssh (or anything) to newman, it always connects to the
192.168.23.22. When I try this on my Slowaris box, it uses correct
interface (192.168.31.23). I seem to remember that glibc had a bug in it
that affects the sortlist feature. Is this still the case?
