We have a concept of a system address (the machine itself) and a service
address (one for each service, say .2 == an apache service, .3 == an
bacula service, .4 == a dns service, where as .1 is a _system_ address)
all the interfaces will be on the same machine.
So any communications coming _from_ the bacula service need to come out
of .3 and any connections to the bacula service need to head onto .3 also.
What I have seen (only on my breif testing) is that the listen address
is the .3 address (as I set in DirAddress) but the outcoming connections
from the bacula-dir to the bacula-fd across the network originate for
the system default address of .1...
I shall re-test and post my outcomes.
