My Bacula server sits between a internet facing domain and a secured data domain. The server that is hosting Bacula has 2 NICs, one for each domain. How do I assign both IPs to the Director, FD and SD?

I tried to follow the instructions here:
http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/main/main/Configuring_Director.html

But I guess I was not able to figure it out properly. They are both ipV4 addy's

I tried it like so:

DirAddress = {
ip = { addr = *.*.*.* }
ip = { addr = *.*.*.* }
}
}

and also:

DirAddress = {
ip = { addr = *.*.*.* }
ip = { addr = *.*.*.* }
}

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I guess I did not read the instructions well enough.

DirAddresses = {
ip = { addr = 1.2.3.4; port = 1901 }
ip = { addr = 10.2.3.4; port = 1901 }
}
}

The commented out the DIRport = 1901

works like a charm except now my webmin console doesn't like the fact that there are 2 assigned IP address.

Any one know a work around for that?

If anyone has had an issue with the Bacula Webmin module after assigning multiple IP addys and knows a fix, feel free to post it here.

After adding the second IP address, I get this error in the Bacula Webmin modules:

The Bacula console command /usr/bin/bconsole could not communicate with the Bacula director. Make sure the password in /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf is correct.

Okay, adding the multiple IPs has the director restarting correctly, but breaks everything else. BAT cannot connect to it, and neither can the webmin add-on.

So going from:

Director { # define myself
Name = ubunback-dir
DIRport = 9101 # where we listen for UA connections
QueryFile = "/etc/bacula/scripts/query.sql"
WorkingDirectory = "/var/lib/bacula"
PidDirectory = "/var/run/bacula"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
Password = "****************************" # Console password
Messages = Daemon
DirAddress = 192.9.200.97
}

to:

Director { # define myself
Name = ubunback-dir
# DIRport = 9101 # where we listen for UA connections
QueryFile = "/etc/bacula/scripts/query.sql"
WorkingDirectory = "/var/lib/bacula"
PidDirectory = "/var/run/bacula"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
Password = "****************************" # Console password
Messages = Daemon
DirAddresses = {
ip = { addr = 192.9.200.97; port = 9101 }
ip = { addr = 10.128.50.8; port = 9101 }
}
}

will still have the director restart just fine, but break everything else.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Doesn't 0.0.0.0 work for dir address? Or is this a security risk?

What ip address do you have bat connecting on in you bat.conf? If it's
127.0.0.1 or local host that will not work with your previous config.
