Hello,
Would adding static IP  route and a host name entry help ?
you may have to look into having two NICs on the separate network.

It already has a static IP route and host name entry. I am not sure if adding a second NIC can be done; its a blade. I will ask the SA who is

responsible for this server about that option.

But is it a static host or static net route, if your flavour of linux

allows it then setting a static route using the IP you want to just the backup server (as a host) should force it to use just that IP to talk to

the backup server.
