[Server-devel] ds-backup.py backup_url server check

[Carol Farlow Lerche]

When the client references "schoolserver", it depends on client
configuration where and if it finds it.  Places that can affect this lookup
process are the configuration designating what is your DNS server, the
configuration of your resolver (e.g. does it supply a default domain if the
requested name is not fully qualified.  So if your local domain is
configured to be "mydom.com", schoolserver.mydom.com might be the actual
name that is looked up.  Finally if you have an /etc/hosts file you can
supply a local name for an arbitrary IP address, so you could have a line
there that gave "192.0.2.1 schoolserver"

If your "schoolserver" is not named schoolserver in your same domain, just
add an /etc/host entry.
