Thanks for all the responses, pretty much confirming what I thought.  I
haven't done anything special with the ports yet though, & both configs
seem to run together just fine, but I haven't got multiple clients
involved in this config, I'm just testing out the concepts.  I need to
look at port ranges etc. next as if we start using Amanda more widely
then firewalls will definitely be involved and will need to be locked
down as far as possible.

regards, Phil
