Hi, list: 

Our printers are using samba-3.0.37, and we hit a problem recently when doing 
file transfer to Windows 2008 Server Clusters.

The error occurs when the printer attempts to locate the file path and uses the 
server IP address rather than the hostname:

======================================================
I believe the problem is related to how Microsoft scopes the file shares when 
using a cluster configuration. The transfer is smooth when the destination is a 
stand-alone Win2008 server. 

Still, from the client side, is there any way to walk around the problem? I 
mean, since the problem doesn't occure when the hostname is used to locate the 
file path, where in the code can I disable the resolving of the server's 
hostname to ip address in samba client?

Looking forward to help,
