I want to backup a client on a "private" network 10.160.32, but amanda seems to be looking for a DNS to resolve the IP, and then do a reverse lookup on the IP to get the hostname. Is there a way to do this without setting up a DNS for 10.160.32? I wish amanda would just believe the address that I put in disklist instead of double-checking with a DNS. Does she not trust me? Am I not trustworthy?

I guess I'll pick at the docs for gethostbyaddr and gethostbyname calls to see if there is any way to modify their behavior, or if there is a different routine that I could plug in that would check /etc/hosts first, or something like that.
