Doesn't it? Maybe you need to be more specific about what the
definition of "it" is.

That makes no sense. You had no problem (other than the delay) using

Changing primary_hostname shouldn't affect that.

What did you set primary_hostname to? If you set it to
shinyblue.net, re-read my earlier post.
