Thank you all for the prompt replies.  I was hoping that this would be a simple 
task of telling amanda what interface to communicate on.  But because I have 2 
interfaces on the same subnet, this forces me to alter how the system itself 
routes data using the 2 interfaces.

Right now, the system is currently in use by the company, so I can't start 
futzing with the networking on the machine.  Instead, I'm going to keep this on 
the back-burner for a later time.
