The system is FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p4, verifying DNS was actually the first thing I tried. My DNS services are handled by a pfSense firewall, with entries added into its DNS Masquerade service for the local servers. I have Bind DNS Tools installed on the bacula server, nslookup correctly resolves all the DNS host names. The host command also resolves all the host names. My webacula installation is actually on a separate machine also running FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p4, its bconsole application is still resolving the server by DNS host name, but was returning only some data very slowly due to the Bacula server being unable to resolve the client host names. The bconole application on the Bacula server couldn't even resolve the server host name which is also in its hosts file. I have tried with debugging all the way up to 300, I still only get a timeout on the connect, no information about it attempting to resolve host names to IP. Does anyone know what debugging level I need to set in order to get it to show me the host name resolution process so I can possibly find out why its failing? -- Thanks, Dean E.
