Can we get the ability to enter a host name instead of a IP address?
There are many NTP & SMTP servers that use a host name that resolve to multiple IP addresses.
No.
(the RB must internally are able to resolve DNS)
Use this:

Maybe they`ll add this in a later release?
They did for a lot of other tools…
I see where this can be handy… Most utilities should support this.
Backup jobs and requests will fail until the schedule is ran again, it’s a workaround but not really a solution. Thanks though.
