Has anyone tried to "route" ADSM network traffic to and from specific NICs
on individual clients? We're thinking that our backup and restore processes
might run more quickly if the data were pushed through one wire on the
network (unfortunately a 16 non-switched token ring NIC right now, but soon
to be upgraded to 100Mb Ethernet), with restore data running through
another NIC (same token ring config) from the same client but a different
connection on our router chassis. In theory, this may work, but I've not
seen any information concerning this type of set-up in any ADSM
documentation.

This truly may be something for the network folks to puzzle over (they live
for this, don't they?). The NICs are PCI, and we're running TCP/IP on both
server and clients, with MVS as the ADSM server.

Has anyone tried something like this? I'm interested in hearing whether
this is even something that can be pursued in real life....
