We tried it both ways. The backup server actually refers to another machine on the NAT range for its DNS, so when it pings the names of the machines with NAT addresses, it will get responses from their NAT IPs. We also added them manually to the /etc/hosts file on the backup server to point to their NAT addresses just to avoid confusion. That made no difference. Then we changed the disklist file to point to the internal machines by their NAT addresses, which also made no difference. What else could be causing it? All the machines with translated addresses are reporting "selfcheck request timed out. Host down?" Including the backup server itself when running amcheck. What are we not seeing here?
