Yes, definitely the client host is resolving well in DNS from the bacula server.
[root@ops:~] #host beta-new.mydomain.com
beta-new.mydomain.com has address 162.xx.xx.xx
[root@ops:~] #dig beta-new.mydomain.com
; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.6 <<>> beta-new.mydomain.com

But as mentioned I tried putting the hostname and IP for the remote server I want to backup into the /etc/hosts file on my bacula server. We'll see where that gets us for tonight's run, just in case this was some kind of DNS issue.
Thanks!
