This is exactly the scenario we have with one of our TSM servers. With client initiated actions (backups/restores) the address/name configured in dsm.opt does specify the path of data taken to the server. Then, it's up to the routing table on the server for which path is taken by data back to the client. So, yes, it is possible for a single connection to run in a loop through the network - packets going in on one TSM server ethernet card, and going out another different card.
One option may be to run periodic "netstat -an | grep EST" on the TSM server (or equivalent for non-UNIX like OS). The local address portion should have the IP address the client connected to, which should match what's in dsm.opt.
