Hello Michael
I'm not sure if is it possible in older versions like yours.
Take a look below
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features in 7.2.0
FD Storage Address
When the Director is behind a NAT, in a WAN area, to connect to the
StorageDaemon, the Director uses an ``external'' ip address, and the
FileDaemon should use an ``internal'' IP address to contact the
StorageDaemon.
The normal way to handle this situation is to use a canonical name such as
``storage-server'' that will be resolved on the Director side as the WAN
address and on the Client side as the LAN address. This is now possible to
configure this parameter using the new directive FDStorageAddress in the
Storage or Client resource.
Storage {
Name = storage1
Address = 65.1.1.1
FD Storage Address = 10.0.0.1
SD Port = 9103
...
}
Client {
Name = client1
Address = 65.1.1.2
FD Storage Address = 10.0.0.1
FD Port = 9102
...
}
Note that using the Client FDStorageAddress directive will not allow to use
multiple Storage Daemon, all Backup or Restore requests will be sent to the
specified FDStorageAddress.

Bacula is already in 7.4.0 version.
It's highly recommended upgrading.
