Hi,

I believe that if you set the serverhladdress, that address will be used (it's 
not in the docs). Of course, if there is only one route to a client, via only 
one interface, that source ip-address will be used.

as to binding the TSM server to a specific address, I've asked the question 
before, from a security perspective, but apparently nobody sees the use of 
being able to specify an IP address for the server to restrict itself to.
