Servers (and clients) with multiple IPs ?

[David Masterson (damaster)]

In my environment, we have a lab where all the systems are on the
2.x.x.x subnet.  This subnet is firewalled such that it's not visible to
the rest of the company.  However, there are some systems in the lab
that have 171.x.x.x IPs and the firewall translates those IPs to the
appropriate 2.x.x.x IP so that communications can be established out of
the lab.  Effectively, these systems have two IP addresses.  In fact,
I've put Xymon on several of these systems (including the Xymon server).
 
While I was setting up Xymon clients that were just in the lab, there
was no problem as I'd just identify all the systems by their 2.x.x.x IP.
My question, though, is how to configure things on clients that are
outside the lab.  Obviously, when I configure the outside clients, I'll
have to identify the server by it's 171.x.x.x IP.  The server, though,
is identified by its 2.x.x.x IP in the bb-hosts file.  Will this be a
problem? Are there any gotchas to watch out for?
