Thank you all for the prompt replies. I was hoping that this would be a simple task of telling amanda what interface to communicate on. But because I have 2 interfaces on the same subnet, this forces me to alter how the system itself routes data using the 2 interfaces.
Right now, the system is currently in use by the company, so I can't start futzing with the networking on the machine. Instead, I'm going to keep this on the back-burner for a later time. -Rob > -----Original Message----- > From: Nicki Messerschmidt, Linksystem Muenchen GmbH > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 4:59 AM > To: Dege, Robert C. > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Multiple NICs > > > Dege, Robert C. said the following: > > Our amanda server has 2 NICs in it, each with separate IPs.
