We migrated from SPARC boxes to NBU appliances and during this we added an IP address, effectively changing the backup IP of the Master server. We kept the other IP addresses because of legacy client configurations, but the main backup IP was changed. This IP is also the path that NBU communicates with the other media servers. We didn't have any issues related to this IP change/add. It was as simple as ensuring name resolution worked and restarting all services, including pbx across the master/media servers.
