I think it is supposed to use dns if the dhcp field in hosts is 0 and 
nmblookup if it is 1.  You might be able to verify if that is the only 
problem by temporarily setting ClientAlias to an IP address that you 
know is connected.

Does your nmblookup work with just
nmblookup host
to find the names on the 10.x.x.x net?  And speaking of NAT, when you 
connect from the client in the scenario that started this thread, does 
the backuppc server see the IP that it is supposed to connect to, or 
does something in between change the source address of the connection?
