client with "private" address

[Jonathan Dill]

I want to backup a client on a "private" network 10.160.32, but amanda 
seems to be looking for a DNS to resolve the IP, and then do a reverse 
lookup on the IP to get the hostname.  Is there a way to do this without 
setting up a DNS for 10.160.32?  I wish amanda would just believe the 
address that I put in disklist instead of double-checking with a DNS.  
Does she not trust me?  Am I not trustworthy?

I guess I'll pick at the docs for gethostbyaddr and gethostbyname calls 
to see if there is any way to modify their behavior, or if there is a 
different routine that I could plug in that would check /etc/hosts 
first, or something like that.
