Update:
my server signature is:
0x6DB8B0086DB8B0086DB8B0086DB8B008
the /etc/HOSTNAME is artsengraving.com and there is a line in /etc/hosts
192.168.110.200 iserver artsengraving.com
hostname() returns iserver (obviously).
I wonder why the server signature is repeating. Is it hex for 192?

Yes. Fitting last words.
