Thanks revaroo,
when I ran this >>> bptestbpcd -client <clientname> -verbose from the master I got the following
[root@nbuserver2 ~]# bptestbpcd -client daylight1.dov.state.ny.us -verbose
<16>bptestbpcd main: Function ConnectToBPCD(daylight1.dov.state.ny.us) failed: 25
cannot connect on socket
I ran the following from the master also
telnet <client> 1556
telnet <client> 13724
here are the results
root@nbuserver2 ~]# telnet daylight1 1556
daylight1/1556: Name or service not known
[root@nbuserver2 ~]# telnet daylight1.dov.state.ny.us 1556
