I have never used two Client definitions to backup the same machine, but in principle it would work fine.

The closest I have is a "cluster ip" floating between two machines, with 3 client/job definitions: one for each physical machine (backing up /etc and crontabs) and one for the cluster ip (backing up DRBD filesystem mounted on the host that has cluster ip).

The only thing non-obvious to me was that bacula-fd running as

FileDaemon {
  name = nodea-fd
...
}

will happily answer to (bacula-dir)

Client {
  name = nodea-fd
  address = 1.2.3.4
  ...
}
Client {
  name = nodeb-fd
  address = 1.2.3.5
  ...
}
Client {
  name = cluster-fd
  address = 1.2.3.1
  ...
}
Job {
  name = cluster-drbd
  client = cluster-fd
  fileset = drbd
  ...
}

(I.e there is no FileDaemon named "cluster-fd" running anywhere but the Job and Client definitions for it work just fine.)
