What "hostname" returns actually depends on a number of things. I think in Solaris it depends on what is the name of the first hostname of the first interface given at boot time in
/etc/hostname.XXXX, where XXXX is the name of an ethernet interface. Hopefully a Sun expert can elaborate on this.
In fact, you will get the SAME ip for different hostnames. Do you WANT different IPs??

sge_host_aliases
HOST_ALIASES(5) Sun Grid Engine File Formats HOST_ALIASES(5)
NAME
host_aliases - Sun Grid Engine host aliases file format
DESCRIPTION
All Sun Grid Engine components use a hostname resolving service provided by the communication library to identify hosts via a unique host-
name. The communication library itself references standard UNIX directory services such as DNS, NIS and /etc/hosts to resolve hostnames.
In rare cases these standard services cannot be setup cleanly and Sun Grid Engine communication daemons running on different hosts are
unable to automatically determine a unique hostname for one or all hosts which can be used on all hosts. In such situations a Sun Grid
Engine host aliases file can be used to provide the communication daemons with a private and consistent hostname resolution database.
The location for the host aliases file is <sge_root>/<cell>/common/host_aliases.
FORMAT
For each host a single line must be provided with a blank, comma or semicolon separated list of hostname aliases. The first alias is
defined to be the unique hostname which will be used by all Sun Grid Engine components using the hostname aliasing service of the communi-
cation library.
