The name selected is not based alone on the entries of your /etc/hosts file.  
It's based on your host name that you get from the hostname command.  Since you 
don't mention which flavor of *nix, RHEL puts this info in 
/etc/sysconfig/network.  

After verifying that your networking on each end is correctly set up, you just 
make sure that the aliased names are used for the server interface.  The client 
needs the /nsr/res/servers file to have the alias server name and entries need 
to be updated via nsradmin.  The client configuration on the server can have 
the "preferred" client name for the UI, make sure all of the aliases are 
present, and on the Globals #1 tab, the server interface should have the 
desired server network name.
