No, at the moment there is no configuration for this -- Amanda does
not bind its sockets to any particular IP, so the OS chooses a source
IP using its own algorithms.  This usually "just works" (it will pick
an IP on the same subnet if possible).

To answer Chris's question, I would expect that the domain names given
in the disklist are now resolving to an address that is "closer" to
the secondary IP, in whatever measurements the kernel is making.

It would be nice to see source-IP support added, at least to BSDTCP (I
wouldn't bother futzing with BSD or BSDUDP).  Jason, do you want to
take a look?
