I think there would be no reason why a slurm node will care about traffic on multiple interfaces as long as your configuration is set to listen on them, e.g. no firewalld rules in the way restricting traffic to the private network.

Will try that out.

Theoretically anyway- I haven't run a config like that and I'm not sure how the controller will react to such a configuration (i.e. getting slurm traffic on both interfaces). If the on-prem nodes can reach the public IP address of the controller it may be simpler to use only the public IP for the controller, but I don't know how your routing is set up.

It is currently configured with the private cluster network address that the on-prem nodes use to contact it. The nodes in the cloud would contact the head node via its public IP address. How can I configure Slurm so that both IPs are recognized as the head node? -Sajesh-
