Outgoing.  Amanda picks the 'wrong' one in this case - though I can see why
it picked it.

This is only causing trouble as we need to renumber the network and can't do
it all at once.  Some of the machines (including the Amanda tape server)
have multiple IP addresses during the transition and we can't keep
forward/reverse DNS completely consistent.  If Amanda picks the 'old' IP
address to connect from then the client 'fails' the RDNS lookup and dies.
