Hosts with a dash in the name are not resolved by nmb-lookup. I ended up putting reserved addresses in my local DHCP server so that such workstations always receive a "known" ip when on my network, then made a corresponding entry in /etc/hosts on the backuppc server.

I have a very similar problem to Kanti so I'm going to finish where he left
off. The command is run pointing to a dhcp client. The nmblookup works but
the rsync command above fails because the IP address isn't passed from the
lookup to ssh. Do I then tell my server to do a nmblookup when searching for
the host name?
