I can't place multiple ip entries for the same hostname in /etc/hosts ... do I 
just give any hostname as long as the ip address is there? 

EG
192.168.210.72  gmslx02 # Main NSR network address
192.168.210.40  gmslx02-eth1 # Extra IP address

Thanks very much for your help

Brendan

Make an entry for the client in its hosts file and do the same on the host file 
on the NetWorker server that backs it up.
