[Veritas-bu] Host Validation Failure (entity not found 227)

Guru's,

Very frustrating.  More frustrating that the tools are limited to
diagnoses.  The below logs excerpts were sent back from NB support
indicating where the failure is occurring, during
et_type_of_client_port: db_getCLIENT().

I agree with the diagnosis, however, nslookup, blclntcmd, host file
entries all check out.  Any suggestions would be appreciated

Master/Media Server: W2/SP2
Client: Target NW

>From BPBRD

(The request dameon sets up a connection from host,
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, on reserved port 698.)

(NetBackup does a security check to see if the host is a valid server
and fails completely.)
