[Veritas-bu] Cookbook to use alternate NIC for client backups.

My two cents in addition to Ed's procedure since you may have NICs (on
master & media) in both networks.

- Make an entry in DNS for the IP of the NIC you're going to use for
backups. Call it something like servername-nbu.
- Put REQUIRED_INTERFACE = servername-nbu in the client's bp.conf. This way
you'll force NetBackup to send backup traffic on the NIC you want to use.

Consider example 2 on page 58 of NetBackup for Unix Admin Guide Volume II if
you have an interface on the NetBackup server connecting to the backup
network.

Regards,
Khurram
