BW uses JDK APIs to determine hostname. So it depends on the order specified by JVM (IBM JVM) and OS System (AIX) to resolve the hostname.

Currently, as per IBM documentation:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
By default, resolver routines first attempt to resolve names through the DNS/BIND, then NIS and the /etc/hosts file. The /etc/netsvc.conf file may specify a different search order. The environment variable NSORDER overrides both the /etc/netsvc.conf file and the default ordering. Services are ordered as hosts = value, value, value in the /etc/netsvc.conf file where at least one value must be specified from the list bind, nis, local. NSORDER specifies a list of values.
