You could try to make an alias to a valid ip in the hosts file.  Clean up
the hosts file once the client is removed.

Is there any way that i can remove a client in a group that is offline.  I 
have a group that has a client in it that i cannot remove.  When i open 
the group and right click on the client and tell it to remove from group 
it comes back with "Server name should be a valid hostname"  
Thanks for any help.....
