As I've not used the interface directive, take this as
a guesstimate.
In amanda.conf you do a mapping of a name and the actual
device. Plus you can set up some options to the interface,
although only "use" seems available. A possible example:
define eth2 ETH2 {
use 1000000 Kbps
}
Your system may have device files for the interfaces,
mine doesn't. Note the positions of the braces, end
of line and alone a line.
Of course you would need separate definitions for each
of your four interface.
After this you can use the name "ETH2" in the disklist
file. It is the last optional parameter. For example:
ajax.example.com AjaxHome /home comp-user-tar 8 ETH2
You do need a spindle number (my "8") to add the
interface. However, be aware that if two DLE have
the same spindle number they will not be amdump'ed
at the same time.
Decide which clients should use which interface and
modify their DLE accordingly.
Hope this works, let us know.
