What if you modified the host's host file to evade the reverse lookup?

        Probably not.  To be able to use the catalog from "Master A" you
will
need to at least fool the host that is "Master B" into thinking it has
the same
name as "Master A".  You will still not be able to run the restores from
the
imposter master because clients will do a reverse lookup on the IP and
it will
not match the name of "Master A".
