Hi,

Example:

There's an Backup Server running on the server with multiple network cards in 
the same network (for example bge0 and bge1). Some Clients of the server are 
important and some not.

Now we want to make sure, that theres is always enough network bandwidth for 
the important clients  to backup there data. Therefor our goal is to configure 
bge0 to only serve the important clients; all other clients should only connect 
via bge1 - even if bge0 is doing nothing. We can configure this on the clients 
via the IP address of the backup server to use but we also need to make sure 
that the server uses the right interface to answer the requests of the clients.

Can this be done with only one network? Or do we have to configure to different 
networks to get it working?

It sounds like what you really need here is access to Crossbow's
bandwidth management that is currently being developed.  You
can find more information about Crossbow at:
