I've got the same hangs. Here is the appliable section from
/etc/sysconfig:
network_interfaces="ep0 lo0"
ifconfig_ep0="inet 128.120.56.38 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
#
# Set to the list of route add lines for this host. You must have a
# route_${static_routes} line for each static route listed here.
#
static_routes="multicast loopback"
route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}"
route_loopback="${hostname} localhost"
# Set to the host you'd like set as your default router, or NO for none.
defaultrouter="128.120.56.254"
# These are the flags you'd like to start the routing daemon with
routedflags="-q"
Are there other places I should be using numeric IP addresses rather than
FQDN's?
