[Veritas-bu] Client multiple IP addresses?

This bit of info I got while trying to get a second backup interface
working may help:

You can check name resolution via the bpclntcmd:
- bpclcntcmd -hn <hostname>                                             
- bpclntccmd -ip <ip address>

To check the specific name resolution on the client or server can resolve
correctly, then try:
Bpclntcmd -pn from the client which should show a loop of communication
between the client and master.
