Multi-homed typically implies dual network cards or at least dual IP addresses. You won't really need either if your network is routed right. If you need to backup data from multiple domains you will simply need an account in each domain or a trust established.
 
Smilin{/b] is right ...most of the time in this case.

We use "multi-homed" servers in all of our LAN centers, for backups.
Primary nic, with DNS record: Windows/LAN/client traffic. (Static IP)
Secondary nic, with NO DNS record, on a different (private) subnet, dedicated to backup traffic only.

Default gateway is only configured on the Primary nic, and DNS servers also configured only on primary nic. (misleading info from ipconfig /all...DNS is set for the IP stack, not per nic) No WINS servers configured for the secondary nic either.

IP routing is disabled (of course)

HTH,
