No, it's a problem with your system configuration, not an amanda bug.
Well, I turned off /etc/hosts caching so that should fix the system problem.
What would I see in the amanda report if the false "localhost" had a process
listening on the port in question? I presume the taper process would still time out.
I may be mind-reading her, but I think JLM meant your "amanda" system configuration, not your computer system.

Basically, do not use "localhost" as an entry in your amanda config.
I don't. I was asking whether the dumper and taper processes use "localhost" to talk to one another. They do:
--- dumper.c excerpt ---
/* connect outf to taper port */
outfd = stream_client("localhost", taper_port,
DATABUF_SIZE*2, DEFAULT_SIZE, NULL);
--- dumper.c excerpt ---John
