AFAIK, in this case SD will always attempt to connect via internal network
upon request from any clients and that won't work for (the majority of) my
clients that are on external network. I am assuming there is no way to
specify multiple aliases for the same Storage resource in bacula-dir.conf,
but with different Addresses. Anyway, such setting clearly belongs to
client's configuration, so I consider it a bug. FD should ensure that all of
its communications with other daemons go exclusively through the network
address specified in its conf file (if any). But I have no clue how to
implement this since current bacula networking model obviously contradicts.
Cheers,
Ivan
