The client connects using the Address field of the Director's Storage
resource, so it doesn't have to be the fqdn, just something that resolves to
the correct IP address on all machines.

What kind of syntax would you use in the Director's config to specify a
different name/ip for different clients?  Maybe it should allow a mapping from
the client's subnet to the SD address?
