Multiple IP addresses

  • Is there any problem with having 2 or more NIC's with IP addresses on completely different networks on the same instance of SQL server 2008 but separate databases?

  • 2 different environments that need a SQL server.

  • What is your plan to ensure that only one network can access one database and the other network can only access the other database?

  • Yes, that's the plan.

  • No, how do you plan to enforce that?

  • I have one application for each database. Each application only wants it's own database.

  • K so the enforcement would be done at the app level?

    It really makes little difference to have two different networks attaching to that server - until you are looking to prevent network a from accessing database b and network b from accessing database a.

    You can either do it that way (how you described), or have your network guys setup vlans at the router and then there is nothing for you to worry about at the SQL Server level (as far as network segregation). The use of VLANs and routing equipment to accomplish this would be preferred.
