Hi,

  We have multiple clients defined on  physical solaris servers that are in a 
cluster.  Each of these networker clients have a name associated with the file 
systems that they back up.  This allows Networker to back up the client no 
matter which physical server the file systems are mounted on.   

  We are migrating these clients to new physical servers (both old and new 
solaris servers are running solaris 9).  In addition, when these clients are 
migrated they are getting a new IP address. For example,  if ClientA has an ip 
of 1.1.1.1 on the old server, once migrated it will have an IP of 2.2.2.2.   
When the backup of ClientA is run on the new server with an IP of 2.2.2.2 we 
get the following error:
SYSTEM error: client `::ffff:1.1.1.1` is not properly configured on the 
Networker Server

  The error is pointing to the IP address where the client once lived.  DNS has 
been updated to point to the new address (2.2.2.2).  
 
   Anyone have an idea about this error?  I was assuming that the client would 
backup okay once the DNS address for the old client was updated.  Also, what is 
the deal with "::ffff:" prefix on the IP error in the message?

Thanks, in advance, for your help
Jim
