Thanks for the replies.

My /nsr/res/servers file already contains the names of the NetWorker
servers.

I forgot to mention that the reverse DNS example in my first posts shows
reverse DNS entires for the host I'm performing the recovery on. So for this
host the reverse DNS seems to work fine. But does reverse DNS have to work
for the NetWorker servers also?
