Hi everyone,
I am having estimate timeouts from an amanda client.
The client's logs for amandad have the following error messages at the end:

My etimeout value on the server is -1800.
Doesn't seem like estimate timeouts, starting after only 81 seconds.
Sounds like some network communication attempt failing.
I'm running amanda 2.4.3 on the client and 2.4.4 on the server.
My firewall is properly letting packets through.
Both client and server share a connection via the campus 100mbs network
and a private gigabit network. I'm backing up over the gigabit network.
I can run the backup manually and the estimate phase runs fine, but it
doesn't want to run at night.
Does anyone have any insight into this?
Two networks. Sounds like the amanda connection works over one but
not the other. And for some reason, during the day, with manual
attempts the working network is used, in evening, from cron, the
other, non-working network is used. Maybe name resolution differences
on the two networks?
