Host Profile compliance - did not find mapping for ip X.X.X.X in /etc/hosts file on the host

Hey guys,

today another challenge. I have deployed host profiles in my environment and everything works fine, great feature!

There is only one little leak, that prevents my hosts get fully compliant:

Each host (except the source-host for the profile) reporting not to be compliant because of " did not find mapping for ip X.X.X.X in /etc/hosts file on the host " message.

All esx have a local hosts file with the same content (List of all hosts and the according ip adress).

Now every hosts says it cannot find mapping for itself.

Example:

Host vm020 is the reference host - everything good host is compliant

Host vm021 (IP-Adress 10.0.0.10) is not compliant with message "did not find mapping for ip 10.0.0.10 in /etc/hosts file on the host"

Host vm022 (IP-Adress 10.0.0.11) is not compliant with message "did not find mapping for ip 10.0.0.11 in /etc/hosts file on the host" 

and so on....

Any hints?
