I was going to suggest that, but I figured it may not actually clear up 
the problem and could potentially just waste a lot of time.

How does one know that the 127.* IPs really are gone?

When specifing server names, DO NOT use "localhost" or "127.0.0.1."  Use 
the FQDNs of your servers.

Hmm... would vos delent for each volume, then the vos 
changeaddr -remove, and then a vos syncvldb do the same thing and not 
take as much time for the dump / restores?
