All clients have to be able to do a forward and reverse lookup of the
master server and necessary storage nodes and vice versa.  This does not
mean you have to have them all in DNS, adding the entries to the
relevant host files would do it just as well.

I'm having a problem getting two new Windows clients to backup/probe
(probe results below). Is it a requirement that all Networker clients be
defined in DNS to some capacity ? These two clients are not in our DNS,
they are located in our DMZ and we are reaching them via their IP
addresses only. Our firewall rules for Networker clients allow
everything needed for backups to work with all DMZ clients, but those
are also in our DNS, unlike these two. Will we have to add these 2
clients to our DNS also to get them to even probe successfully ?

Regards

Paul
