Sun Cluster 3.1 and Routing question

I need some help. I am running a 2 node cluster with Solaris 8, Sun
Cluster 3.1 9/04 and am running into a routing problem(what I believe to
be a routing problem). I am trying to setup the cluster to backup via
Legato Networker, here's where the problem starts. I can backup the
inactive(failover) node just fine. However when I click to start a backup
of the active node it fails. Well, after further investigation, here's
what I have found. The nodes have 4 network interfaces ce0-3. If I have
4 windows open, performing a snoop on each interface in a separate window.
 I then attempt to start a backup from the backup server, to see which
interfaces get traffic and respond to traffic.

snoop -d ce0 hostnameofbackupserver
snoop -d ce1 hostnameofbackupserver
snoop -d ce2 hostnameofbackupserver
snoop -d ce3 hostnameofbackupserver

On the inactive node in the cluster, all the trafic goes out ce0 to the
backup server.
On the active node in the cluster, traffic to the backup server goes out
ce0 and ce1.

ce0 and ce1 are the public network connections. ce2 and ce3 are the
interconnects.

Is there a way possibly with a route add or something along that nature,
to tell it to route all traffic to the backup server out ce0?? if so, how
does this affect the cluster network configuration?? I appreciate all
help greatly, I have been working on this issue for some time, and will
summarize.

Thanks
