I am currently trying to backup a client with a dedicated link btw the media server and the client.
The master server communicates to the media server and client on public IP
The media server and client dedicated IP hostname media-blk and client-blk added to host files of all server and DNS
The media server dedicated IP hostname media-blk added to bp.conf on master, media and client
Client hostname changed to from client to dedicated IP hostname client-blk
In testing communication, connection btw media server and client connects using dedicated IP hostname client-blk
Testing communicationbtw master and client using client-blk fails with error 25.
Kindly advice as i will like to use the dedicated link between media server and client for backup

Hi
I would try below on client end and media end such things in hosts file:
client - > make entry for media server (via well know name to master) but pointing to IP from this dedicated link
media -> make entry for client (via well know name to master) but point to IP from this dedicated link
On master leave it as it is... So one you will ping client by name from media - the IP should be from dedicated link, same if pinging media from client, but when pinging media and client from master this should be public IP

test everything first from the OS level. make sure they ping each other using whatever ip address you are using.
then move to using NBU tools (which i forgot the name) to do the ping at NBU level. also make sure the master/media settings for the ip address are all there.

You don't need to use backup names, just make sure that the client and the media only know to communicate with each other via one IP address.
Example
Master Hosts file
Media 192.168.1.201
Client 192.168.1.202
Media Hosts file
Master 192.168.1.200
Client 10.10.10.202
Client Hosts file
Master 192.168.1.200
Media 10.10.10.201
This ensure that when Master talks to media or client it uses 192.x, and vice versa, but if client talks to media or vice versa, they use 10.x
