The hostnames above should all be unique.
ksh
n=1 ;while [[ $n -lt 255 ]] ;do echo "192.168.2.$n mylan$n" >>/etc/hosts
;n=$((n+1)) ;done

or if you preferr

ksh
n=1
while [[ $n -lt 255 ]]
do
echo "192.168.2.$n mylan$n" >>/etc/hosts
n=$((n+1))
done

then remove the old lines and do any other manual doctoring necessary with
vi


also please show:
netstat -rn
ifconfig -a
hostname
domainname
uname -n
cat /etc/resolv.conf

I expected to see only 192.168 addresses above in hosts, or, I expected to
see one of those lan ip's to correspond to a 2nd nic on the server and to
have a unique hostname.
These will tell me what should be done in /etc/hosts. Perhaps you have one
physical nic but are using aliasing to allow it to exist on both a lan and
the public net,
Assuming 12.12.12 really is on the public net like it should be. It looks
suspiciously like one of the many incorrect private lan numbering schemes
that use public addresses.

If ifconfig -a shows a nic with a 192.168 address, then editing the hostname
for that line in /etc/hosts would be part of the manual doctoring I
mentioned.

And as with most things there is more than one right way and it's not quite
as simple as this but it's a start and probably good enough.
