[Fedora-directory-users] Why does FDS issues gethostbyname('hostname') on startup

I have server "bigbox", which is also known as directory.example.com.
I've installed FDS-1.0.2 to run on directory.example.com.
The problem is that when I'm trying to start it, it complains:
   gethostbyname("bigbox") failed
which is true, cause DNS does not known any for bigboxes. It knows
only about directory.example.com.

My question is - why does slapd care about resolving `hostname`?
During installation I explicitly specified to use
directory.example.com.
