Unfortunately, it doesn’t.  BWCTL’s way of dealing with IP addresses for 
tests is a bit limited in that it assumes everything will happen on the same 
address.

Last week, a similar use case involving different IP addresses between the 
node’s management interface and the interface where a test is carried out was 
brought to my attention. We will be adding code to pScheduler (which will 
replace BWCTL in the next major release) to cover that case, and I can give 
some thought to how we might cover this one since it falls into the same 
category.
