Kumarmani is correct: In solaris 9, it was definitely /etc/nodename. I forgot about that (more than once).
The point is, your host can respond to multiple hostnames just by assigning to one of the existing IPs a new hostname in /etc/hosts. The official name returned by the command "hostname", however, will not change until you change /etc/nodename and reboot.
