showmount and ipv6 addresses

I have the following /etc/hosts file:

15) root:~> more /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
::1     phoenix localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.1.40    orion

Then 

16) root:~> showmount -e orion
Export list for orion:
/opt  192.168.0.0/16
/home 192.168.0.0/16

but 

17) root:~> showmount -e phoenix
showmount: can't get address for phoenix

I imagine that's because of the ::1 in /etc/hosts. Something is not right.
How can it be fixed? Do I change the first line in /etc/hosts or not?
Oh, yeah, this is FC6 fully updated.
