Re: [Bacula-users] multiple storage addresses

I had tested defining clients by their infiniband address names, but traffic 
still ended up back to the storage demon over ethernet.  But i figured out a 
work around by setting the storage demon to be normally available on the 
infiniband address only, in the storage part of the bacula-dir.conf.  And then 
setting forced routes on the few servers that didn't have infiniband, to force 
them back over ethernet.  Seems to be working so far.


My netstat:

[root@is1 ~]# netstat -rn
