A small summary: The FDAddress option works perfect to restrict listening to a single or multiple IPs bound to the local host.
In the below output .196 is a cluster virtual ip running a bacula-fd concerned with the cluster applications data (i.e. bacula database) only, and .193 is the bacula-fd responsible for the cluster nodes operating system. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# netstat -na | grep LIST | grep 910 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9101 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 192.168.10.196:9102 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 192.168.10.193:9102 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9103 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN Note: configure sets the working directory relative to $prefix, but not the pid directory. if the pid directories overlap, it seems bacula-fd will silently die after issueing a successful startup. also the /etc/init.d/bacula-fd script will kill then both daemons which is how i stumbled over the solution As soon as these are separate both fds can run concurrently. I also tested that bacula-dir and bacula-sd accept this and the more versatile DirAddresses statement, it worked as far as I remember. Though I wonder if it's legitimate to declare both. :) # for reference ./configure --prefix=/mnt/new/bacula/apps/bacula --enable-static-cons --enable-static-fd --enable-ipv6 --with-mysql=/mnt/new/bacula/apps/mysql --with-openssl --with-dir-user=bacula --with-dir-group=bacula --with-sd-user=bacula --with-sd-group=disk --with-fd-user=root --with-fd-group=bacula && make (thank You for not pointing out that /mnt/new is a stupid path) So long and thanks to all that helped!
