Yes, u were right.  Pine, is the first member on our new domain and thus did 
not have the same host entries.  I was surprised to find out that the sd 
address needed to be resolvable both ways for the backup to work. Regardless, 
using the IP only is working now and will leave until dns has been merged to 
the new domain.

That is one reason why we were both complaining about pinging the other 
direction.. In the case of a FQDN instead of an ipaddress being placed in the 
bacula-dir.conf, the director does not resolve the FQDN it passes that to the 
client to resolve. This is actually a good thing because it can allow for 
complex multi homed setups where different clients have a different path to the 
storage.
