??? Are they joking or am I .... ? You are making your networker 
server just a router between dmz and prod zone ... and bypassing
all your FWs ... 

>From DMZ, you can gain access to prod just changing
default gateway to backup server and prod zone, to dmz
using same way ..... 

Was just my 2 cents ...

Subject: [Networker] configuring a NW server with two NICs (DMZ bkups)

I've searched the archives but not found anything pertaining to my
situation.   Please forgive me if I missed something.

I have a Solaris-based NW 721 server which backs up a number of clients
(UNIX) nightly.   Recently a particular client was moved into the DMZ
and
assigned a new IP, so understandably NW choked on backing it up since
the
client's nsrexecd could no longer talk to nsrd on the server.

I spoke with our LAN people, who are vehemently opposed to punching
holes
in the firewall but instead suggested that I enable another NIC on the
bkup
server and and hook it into the DMZ network.    We've done this, so now
the
config looks like this:

clientIP:  x.x.x.19 (DMZ space)
serverIP:  x.x.9.26 (LAN IP)
      and      x.x.x.23 (DMZ space, same subnet as clientIP)

At this point my head is so full of useless information about firewalls,
ports, etc. that I cannot think straight and solve this problem.   What
am
I doing wrong?

Thx in advance
