We actually have 6.1.2, but I get this error quite frequently.  I've
been able to "work around" it most of the time by adding a /etc/hosts
entry for the client.  Then once the initial backup has run I can remove
that /etc/hosts entry.  Occasionaly I have to restart networker to get a
client added.

One person on the list sent a suggestion on editing the
/etc/nsswitch.conf file.  Check the archives.  I haven't tried it yet,
but it seemed to work for him.

Most clients only have one IP address.  The others we add the alias to
Networker (that brings up another bug with 6.1.3, if you have too many
aliases and the nsr.res field spans more than one line, storage nodes
fail
to work, but that is another problem).

Last night I added a client, its backup kicked off 6 hours later, that
should be enough time for Networker to sync, and it failed.  This
morning,
I recycled the Networker processes then started another backup for that
same client which succeeded.
