You're asking the wrong folks. Amanda just calls the system provided
gethostby* routines. You need to look into how those work (i.e. whether
they look at /etc/hosts, DNS, etc) and guess at why those are failing
sometimes.
My guess would be that you are using DNS and that the server just goes
to sleep on occasion. And/or you don't have enough fallback servers to
take up the cause when the primary does not respond.
