Separate subnet no pring

[Adam Dobrin <adam@emplifyhr.com>]

I'm having trouble using backuppc from a separate subnet.  I have a VPN 
connection from an offiste location to my network; and while the remote 
machine *can* ping into the internal network, and perl's gethostbyname 
functions fine; bpc is still returning a 'no ping'. 

nmblookup is not functioning properly, but from what i read in the 
documentation, if gethostbyname works, it doesn't go there. 

thanks.
