SAVE THE POOCH!

so you have an existing NBU environment and it uses

clientname.theirdomain.com

for the clients?

and you want to be able to restore data from those to the new FQDN

clientname.intel.com

?

I'm thinking that you want to look at using altnames...but I would want to 
clarify some of this information first.
