I have two IP addresses ending with 56 and 57. Immediately after updating to WHM 11.30.2 (build 1) I started to receive this dreaded email.

Your hostname (vps.domain.com) resolves to x.x.x.57. It should resolve to x.x.x.56 ....
/etc/resolve.conf has
nameserver x.112.88.10

/etc/hosts has
x.x.x.57 vps.domain.com vps
127.0.0.1 localhost

/etc/wwwacct.conf has
ADDR x.x.x.57
ETHDEV venet0:1
...

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-venet0:0 has
DEVICE=venet0:0
IPADDR=x.x.x.56
...

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-venet0:1 has
DEVICE=venet0:1
IPADDR=x.x.x.57
...

Main >> Server Configuration >> Basic cPanel & WHM Setup >> Basic Config[/I] has
The ethernet device onto which.... => other venet0:1

ifconfig gives
venet0:0 x.x.x.56
venet0:1 x.x.x.57

hostname gives
vps.domain.com

dig +short vps.domain.com gives
x.x.x.57

There is a DNS A record for vps.domain.com => x.x.x.57

Hovewer, Main >> DNS Functions >> Add an A Entry for your Hostname brings up
hostname => vps.domain.com
Server Main IP => x.x.x.56

Can anyone please help as to what is wrong, why the emails and why WHM thinks server main IP should be 56?
