I'm just wondering whether you can actually force the client to use
CLIENT_CR for backup. In your configuration (as well as mine), nowhere was
that stated/forced, so SERVER_CR can very well communicate with CLIENT.

I have tried out your setup, but when I do 'netstat -a', I still manage to
grep CLIENT_CR establishing communication with SERVER.

software I configure both SERVER and SERVER_CR as known servers.  When
setting up the client via the NWADMIN GUI you name the client with its real
name, i.e CLIENTand you enter SERVER_CR in the Server Network Interface
section.  You won't see this unless you select View - Details. You may also
want to enter the SERVER_CR and its I.P. address in your clients /etc/hosts
file and the CLIENT_CR entry in your servers /etc/hosts file. BTY, you can
configure the server list by editing the /etc/init.d/networker file on your
clients.
