What does /etc/hosts on that client look like?  Also /etc/resolv.conf?  What if 
you do a "ping bacula.doggy.com" from that client, what IP does it use?  Is it 
the same ip as returned by "dig bacula.doggy.com" or "dig @4.2.2.1 
bacula.doggy.com"?

I have a bacula-sd that is connected to multiple networks, and each client 
connects to an IP appropriate for its network (but the same sd).  It sounds 
like you may have this "split DNS" setup unintentionally.

You probably don't need this second Director directive at all, unless you have 
a local director.
