I don't think this will do what you want. I believe that with two stanzas,
each with the same server name, that the first will be ignored and the
second used. I don't believe it will define both and split the load down
either tcpserveraddress.

Subject: Two ethernets for redundancy/performance?
We are running NSM here with a gigabit ethernet card on a private network
to back up clients. We would like to install a second gigabit card for
extra throughput and failover in case one card should happen to die. In the
initSID.utl or the dsm.opt files, it looks like I can set:
MAX_SESSIONS 4 #we have 4 tape drives
SERVER server_a
SESSIONS 2
TCPSERVERADDRESS xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx #address of 1st card
SERVER server_a
SESSIONS 2
TCPSERVERADDRESS yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy #address of 2nd card
This should give increase bandwidth and a certain amount of failover. Is
there any method to achieve SESSIONS=4 if one of the cards should fail?
Thanks,
Darrell Kundrik
