Thanks to all who replied so far, but you've all missed the point:
when I "ssh meerkat", I am connecting to a different host than the 
meerkat I expected.

ping meerkat gives one host (202.50.84.15)
nslookup meerkat gives another (192.168.x.x)

Is there anything special I need to do to make name resolution work as 
expected?
