<div class="moz-cite-prefix">That's a great idea but I run into the
same issue. The /etc/hosts file wants an IP too. It doesn't seem
to want to just link a short name to a fqdn. I've looked into
possibly using the resolv.conf to do what I want but haven't seen
any examples of it actually working. Oh well. It's not that
important.<br>

using the rclient and monitoring NAS devices that are remote and behind

DDNS name, not the IP. The NAS host line in my hosts.cfg is not using a
FQDN as the hostname because that gets checked as a separate host.
Here's a sample of what I have in my hosts.cfg file.
0.0.0.0 myrouter.myddns.net # trace
0.0.0.0 NAS # noconn ssh "RCLIENT:cmd(ssh -T -i

If the server can resolve the hostname it will use that for the tests.
If you put NAS in your /etc/hosts file I believe it should work.
