  If I'm not mistaken, you just need to specify the new server's address in the 
clients
  bp.conf as the NB server address.  For example, if you're NB server has two 
interfaces 
  that are in dns as 'server.domain.name' and 'server-120.domain.name' 
(assuming the later
  is  an interface on the 120 subnet that you wish to connect via), you would 
just set 
  you're server line to 'SERVER = server-120.domain.name' in the bp.conf file 
on the client.

 Another option, or maybe in addition to the above changes would be to setup 
some bandwidth
 limiting on heavily used networks.  On your NB server, you can use the 
LIMIT_BANDWIDTH option
 to put an upper limit on how much bandwidth is allowed to be used for a 
specific client.

 Hope this helps.
