Nevermind, I figured it out. I didn't realize that either spacewalk or 
cobbler would resolve the hostname I put in to it's IP, and since CentOS 
sets the hostname as associated with 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts, I 
suspected that might be the root cause. Once I took the hostname out of 
/etc/hosts and updated the profile again, it changed the default file to 
the servers IP as resolved by DNS

Sorry to bother!
