[BackupPC-users] Additional host IP resolution techniques are needed

[Dmitry K. <dm...@ma...>]

Dear backuppc users!

In some configurations nmblookup does not reliably resolve Windows host
IP address (due to firewall or security setting) and ping does not work
either, because of domain search problem
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2228839/ping-does-not-resolve-the-host-always-appends-a-domain/>.
I would suggest to implement additionally:

    *
      Try to ping host first, then ping host. and get the results from
      one that succeeded
    *
      Implement one more check, nslookup host

Does it make sense? Is it difficult to add/implement?

Forgive me, if this topic was already raised in this maillist, I was not
able to find it via SF search interface.

Thanks in advance!
