Yep.  The crudest way being totally manual: Bacula is configured with 
bacula-sd.your.domain.com as the SD address and then each client has a local 
/etc/hosts entry that points to the appropriate IP for that client.

The dir connects to the fd and tells the fd to connect to the sd.  But it 
passes it the hostname, not the IP.
