Interested to know what you did when " DNS administrator removed the reverse 
lookup zones ".

Did you ask them to reinstate the reverse lookup, or reconfigure NetBackup to 
no longer require it, or what?   I ask because occasionally we have discussions 
about this, and have a few environments without reverse lookup - as they are 
non-production we use hosts files, but I just wonder what 'most' people do.

Hello Justin

I have seen the same thing on Netbackup 7.1.0.2 after our DNS administrator 
removed the reverse lookup zones

Took a day or two after the change before the vnet entries appeared in the 
problems log.

I would try to run bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache first

Regards
Michael
