It's using the BSDTCPAuth(?), the default in 3.3.0, I think.
It is the default, is it what you are using? Check your amandad.*.debug
files on the client, you will see it in uppercase.
The issue isn't in contacting the client servers from the Amanda
server, it's how to get the huge amounts of data back from the client
to the server.
With bsdtcp, the data should come back from the same interface the
request goes out.
If I understand, your server have for NIC and four IP, your client have
one NIC and one IP? all of them on the same subnet?
Try adding a route on the server so that request to the client goes out
from the IP you want.

Neil,
Amanda resolve the hostname from the disklist to get an IP and send
packet to that IP.
You can add network route to route some IP to some interface.
Which auth are you using?

Yes, I've looked into this, the network engineer (separate group) is
not interested in bonding, so that won't work. I have to use the
four NICs as independent interfaces.
Also, a few more information tidbits:
1. All servers are on the same subnet
2. NIS is used to push the hosts file out to all of the servers
(I'd played with having a separate hosts listing for each NIC, then
modifying the password-less ssh to get things to work - no luck).
I'm assuming the client is just sending the data to the server
hostname via the hosts file, so I'd like to find more detail on how
to use the disklist interface directive, I think. It appears the
amandahosts file has more to do with authentication than actually
working like a hosts file.
Thanks!

Hello Neil,
thats not a thing of amanda, instead it is a thing of the
operation system. If you are using a linux distributionen you
should google "bonding". In order to have the full bandwith the
ports at the switch have to be configured to act as one.

Greetings:
My Amanda 3.3.0 server has four gigabit NICs that I'd like to
make full use of in performing the backups. It's currently
running (for almost a year now) on only one NIC.
In the disklist file, I can add the interface directive eth0,
eth1, eth2, or eth3. I've done that, round-robin, to the
numerous entries. However, all traffic continues to come
through eth0. All four interfaces have properly configured,
and functioning, IP addresses.
Is this something so simple as to change the entry in the
.amandahosts file?
Anybody have experience with this?
Thanks!
Neil
