Paul,

Each NIC on the media server should have a separate IP.
Assign each IP a name in dns
Ensure that the static routes are set up correctly between the media
server and the clients. This part is critical.
This means if you run a traceroute from teh media server to the client
it is sending the packet out the correct NIC on the media server to the
correct NIC on the client. 

Set up a unique storage unit for each IP assigned to a NIC servicing
clients on the media server.
As a suggestion, use the DNS name assigned to that IP.
You will need at least one policy per storage unit. 
Consider naming the policy based on the underlying the storage unit.
Group the appropriate clients in the appropriate policies.

Other pertinent settings are MPX, multipstreaming, and vault
duplication.

Here are questions for you; what type of storage units are you using?
Are you going directly to tape, VTL or to a DSU first? What kind of DSU?
Do you use SSO? Do you use vault?
Do the clients have multiple NICs as well?
