Did you modify the networker client properties to talk over the secondary 
network? You will find in the GIU, under configuration, clients, select the 
appropriate client, globals (1 of 2), server network interface.. fill in the IP 
of the NIC you want the traffic to go over.

So I have this working now, thanks to Jeff & Tim's help.

However, it's not going over the backup network.

The server has both a primary network & a secondary network:
10.234.1.12 - czar.int.unavco.org  #primary
10.255.1.6 - networker.unavco.org  #secondary

And the client has both as well:
10.234.1.220 - cfc.int.unavco.org
10.255.1.220 - cfc-backup.unavco.org

Via monitoring software, I can see that it all goes over the 10.234.x.x network.
But how do I get the data to actually go over the 10.255.x.x network?

TIA,
