Step 1:  immediately updgrade to 1.2.27. The version you are using has a
broken update-hosts. As well as a few other buglets.

Note 1: You may still have the problem if the connecting-to host is
actually a cluster. Each machine has it's own ID. It should be possible to
collect each seperate ID and associate it with the same name.
