Exactly. We have SERVER entries for each of our media servers nics in or clients bp.conf so then we just route traffic OUT whichever nic we want on the media server and the client connects back and sends data to that nic.
I'm not sure why you would want to have different storage units on the same media server for its different virtual hostnames. We write data to the same tape stu no matter which nic it rides in on.
