Can I use IP addresses in the disklist files rather than the FQDNs? If I could do that then I wouldn't have to worry about DNS to begin with. I haven't seen anything explicitly say we can or cannot but every disklist file I've seen always has the FQDN. Although the other thing I notice i that I can ping the NAT servers from teh amanda server by their naems without a problem. I'll try IPs in the disklist file and see what happens.
