My plex server connects to a SAN using a different NIC and IP scheme, however I’ve noticed that my Remote access has errored a couple times because its trying to communicate over the SAN IP rather than the one it’s supposed to use.

Can we have an option to specify which IP / NIC Plex should use for remote access? Even if this is only in a config file that would be better than no control at all.
