Summary: makedns resolve both external and internal ip

Initial Comment:
My MN is hv32s38p20.There are 2 ip's in hv32s38p20;One is external,the other is internal.
After I executed `makedns -n` in hv32s38p20,it can resolve 2 hostname's and ip's for the host;
This problem affect mknimimage and nimconfig command.
The detail information is as following:
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search ppd.pok.ibm.com
nameserver 192.168.5.183
#cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1               loopback localhost      # loopback (lo0) name/address
::1                     loopback localhost      # IPv6 loopback (lo0) name/address
192.168.5.183   hv32s38p20.ppd.pok.ibm.com hv32s38p20
After I executed `makedns -n`,the output of the nslookup is as following;
# nslookup hv32s38p20
Server:         192.168.5.183
Address:        192.168.5.183#53

Name:   hv32s38p20.ppd.pok.ibm.com
Address: 192.168.5.183
Name:   hv32s38p20.ppd.pok.ibm.com
Address: 9.114.34.105

If I execute nimconfig command, it always find the external ip first;
bash-3.2# nimconfig -a pif_name=en1 -a master_port=1058 -a netname=master_net -a cable_type=N/A
0042-001 nimconfig: processing error encountered on "master":
   0042-180 m_chmaster: The ip address 9.114.34.105 does not belong to
        the network 192.168.5.0 which is represented by
        the nim object master_net.

The output of ifconfig -a command is as following:
# ifconfig -a
en0: flags=1e080863,c0<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,GROUPRT,64BIT,CHECKSUM_OFFLOAD(ACTIVE),LARGESEND,CHAIN>
        inet 9.114.34.105 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 9.114.34.255
         tcp_sendspace 131072 tcp_recvspace 65536 rfc1323 0
en1: flags=1e080863,480<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,GROUPRT,64BIT,CHECKSUM_OFFLOAD(ACTIVE),CHAIN>
        inet 192.168.5.183 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.5.255
         tcp_sendspace 262144 tcp_recvspace 262144 rfc1323 1

The external ip is the first;
