In the client dsm.sys (UNIX) change the tcpserveraddress to point to the
other interfaces.  You can do this on a perclient basis or balance the
load.  I have not done APA yet.  I use  multiple interfaces.  ADSM listens
on a port.  Not an interface for the server.  The IP address that contacts
the server is the IP address that the server starts the backup on.  The IP
the data goes to is the IP in the dsm.sys file on the client.  The server
code runs behind a port not an IP.  The port is also definable so multiple
ADSM Server instance can run on one system.
