I have a laptop which is sometimes connected to the network via wireless
and sometimes via a wired connection. My router has a built-in DNS server
which will not permit the same name to be associated with two different
IPs, even if those two IPs are never in use simultaneously. Hence, when
BackupPC looks up the IP of my laptop, my laptop might not have that IP
at that time, which causes the backup to fail. What I'd like to happen
is for the backup to succeed so long as my laptop is reachable via
either IP address.

How can I do this? Is there some way to give BackupPC a list of IPs to
try?
