DNS works fine and I can ping, ssh, showmount with the name "gate" just
fine without the /etc/hosts entry. 
In /var/log/messages I have the following errors when the name isn't
in /etc/hosts.

Oct  8 13:40:25 xpc automount[2203]: attempting to mount entry /net/gate
Oct  8 13:40:25 xpc automount[2203]: lookup(hosts): can't find path in hosts map /net/gate
Oct  8 13:40:25 xpc automount[2203]: failed to mount /net/gate
