It looks like the 'oh' code is at fault
Could you please do the following:

1. got to one on of the ddsg* hosts
2. run:
    lpq -Ddatabase+3 2>1 1>/tmp/log

3. Look in the log file for 'Combine_options'
    lines.  You will see what it finds, and the FQDN hostname as well
4. See if the match works.
