Maybe this is a silly question, but let me try anyway...

Is it possible to create TWO INSTALLs of the Networker client on the
same box, one install uses name1 the other name2?

Of course then wondering if EMC would charge us twice for the same
client because we are using two different names.

Come to think of it, if you are using domain admin credentials to run
your backup operations why would you need to list it twice?

Are you archive admins which the two different domain names limited as
their recovery operation capabilities?
