Single bacula-dir is not possible for the servers because they are
geographically remote and locally, they are under different administration.
What I will be trying is to setup a bacula-dir at the administrative
district side, with bacula-sd running on FreeNAS. This bacula-dir will be
the second director for the servers (as mentioned before have their own
dir, fd and sd). My concern is with fd talking to multiple directors. I
referred to this link and seems like that this could work.
