Maybe not.

This is the way I see it, and I MAY be wrong, but ...

You've got a computer w/ 4 interfaces, which means 4 IP addresses.

Do all the connected computers see the same hostname? Maybe an entry
in /etc/hosts on the server for each interface to say that they are all
the same name may work. Also try defining the repository by IP address
(on the clients) may work.
