I either enter the hostname and IP into the hosts file or in the dsm.opt
file specify the servers IP address rather than a host name.

I keep getting these messages on my Linux TSM server, which is on a
heavily firewalled network.

        1/11/2005 8:05:06 PM ANR8218W Unable to resolve address for
cobra.mcvh-vcu.edu.

DSMSERV.OPT file, but these messages persist.

Yes, there are some issues with the DNS names for these boxes.

How do I stop these errors / the TSM server from constantly trying to do
DNS lookups ?  Especially when it attempts this 100's of times, each
generating an error message in my daily logs.
