Well, the KVM host has listed itself also as ::1 (not done by me), but
when doing "host" with its own name, it only gives back the IPv4 address
(strange???).

On the guest, /etc/hosts only contains localhost* names.

Now I removed the ::1 entry from the KVM host's /etc/hosts, but the guests
(both RHEL6 and F15 guest) continue giving back also ::1 as address.

So, it looks a bit confusing and inconsistent...
