Thanks to all. We are doing this as a test right now with a crossover
cable. I ended up adding entries to the host file of my Master and the
client. I modified the client name in the B,A,& R->NetBackup Client
Properties filed, and also change the "Use Specified Network Interface"
on the client from within the Console -> Host Properties -> Clients.
The initial test showed things to work. Our full test will be tonight.
