If babylon has always been the hostname, then settings.hostname should
have been babylon and never changed to the IP. That's the normal/correct
way. When you did:

     SELECT DISTINCT hostname FROM settings ORDER BY hostname;

babylon should have shown up. Change only the IPs you changed
back to babylon.

If the SQL doesn't show babylon already existing, I can't explain
how it was working. Because the old log you put on the ticket did
show it.
