how do you read "bp.conf" file?
i'm troubleshooting a problem with "bpclntcmd -pn" in a different thread and i came across a troubleshooting article to check "bp.conf" file. when i checked, what i saw doesn't seem right.

as far as i know, that resilient and preferred network has something to do with performance?
also, why are there so many SERVER entries? what does it mean?
and the SPS_REDIRECT what are they? they point to non-existing servers
Hi,
Resilient network is used for clients that backup across a WAN link that might drop packets, lose connection etc.
There are so many entries because in per 7.7 when we had the good old Remote admin console. Every desktop that had the console on it needed to be listed as a "SERVER" so it could access the master server.
SPS redirects show the front end to backend database mapping for SharePoint.
All of this is just a reflection of the host properties > master server settings. You can adjust it there instead of editing the bp.conf.
