Hello,

  Few days ago I wrote about the problem but I would like to discuss about
possible solutions.

  Description:
  I have backup server which is connected to multiple VLANs and has several
IP addresses. Director sends to clients Address from Storage resource where
clients has to connect. Problem is that clients from different VLANs has to
connect to different IP addresses.

  In 1.36 to resolve the issue I had several Storage resources (one per
VLAN)
and clients were using Address from the coresponding Storage resource.
  But in 1.38 support for multiple autochangers was added and this method no
longer works.

  Kern suggested to put something like "bacula-sd" in Address field and then
put appropriate IP address in /etc/hosts file of the client. I modified my
configuration in this way and everything works. But I do not like such
solution
because it decentralizes management. What if IP of my SD will change? Also I
do
not have full control of the hosts file of several Windows machines - domain
controller is overwriting hosts file and I cannot change this behaviour.

  Maybe some other way exists?

  If not I would like to suggest adding SDAddress (and maybe SDPort?)
configuration
settings to Job resource. Then I could control where job (and client) should
connect
for backup.

  Thanks,

  Mindaugas
