No, it's a problem with your system configuration, not an amanda bug.

Well, I turned off /etc/hosts caching so that should fix the system problem.
What would I see in the amanda report if the false "localhost" had a process

listening on the port in question? I presume the taper process would still time out.

I may be mind-reading her, but I think JLM meant your "amanda" system
configuration, not your computer system.

Basically, do not use "localhost" as an entry in your amanda config.
