Did you tried to add the hostname and IP address to /etc/hosts on your box?
(or %WINDIR%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts if windows)

Where is this cobra.mcvh-vcu.edu name set?  You can replace the name for the
IP address of the host (if it doesn't use DHCP) on the field where is set in
TSM.

HTH,

Pablito.

I keep getting these messages on my Linux TSM server, which is on a heavily
firewalled network.

Yes, there are some issues with the DNS names for these boxes.

How do I stop these errors / the TSM server from constantly trying to do DNS
lookups ?  Especially when it attempts this 100's of times, each generating an
error message in my daily logs.
