hi All,

I run 25 schedules per night, and only 1 ... this one ... gives me some
heart-ache. I know it must be something other than DNS but all of the
error messages are trying to send me down that garden path. The amanda
host machine is "windamere", and schedule6 backs up "intrap". I can log onto
both machines and easily do forward and reverse lookups on both hosts, so I know

there is no DNS issue.
