Probably not a coincidence that CDC-Ns1auth starts with CDC-Ns1.  Sounds 
like it's using CDC-Ns1 as a prefix to match hostnames, rather than as 
an actual hostname.

Looks like there's config setting in 3.0 called use_regexp_matching 
which might control that.  Perhaps in your old config file that was 
somehow turned on.  (Or perhaps not defined at all, and on is the default.)

Who knows what other old settings you're inheriting too.  It's probably 
best for you to scrap your old config, and start fresh with a new 3.0 
config file, then adopt it to your needs (i.e., point it to whatever 
custom definitions/definition-files you've created).

HTH,
