Interesting and yes, seems related.

http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/DOCUMENTATION/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/getaddrinfo.3.htmlthat
replaced gethostbyname and getservbyname.

I have:

Jaspers-MacBook-Pro:etc jasper$ cat hosts
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1    localhost
255.255.255.255    broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0    localhost

# My local aliases

Read this. So you suggest replacing
127.0.0.1 localhost
with
127.0.0.1 something-else
?
 So you hostname for 127.0.0.1 is no longer localhost either, am I correct?
