Dear BackupPC users,

I'm currently evaluating backupPC for my org. Looking promising so far.

I have some systems (laptops) which may appear on my network under a 
variety of IP ranges.

I use sticky DHCP, so, for example,

laptop-A.N.Other
    |
    |______wired MAC = AB:CD:EF    -> IP = A.B.C.D
    |
    |______wireless MAC = AD:CD:GH -> IP = A.B.E.F
    *
    *______VPN through radius      -> IP = A.B.G.H

I can write a little TCP service which checks whether rsyncd is 
listening on any of the above IPs and return the one with highest 
preference (wired/wlan/vpn), for each particular host. My systems do not 
respond to ping.

However i'm not sure about the correct config to acheive this.

NmbLookupCmd expects an IP to resolve to a hostname.

How do I configure backupPC to have a host, and resolve an IP?

Many thanks

Rob
