Good Afternoon
We are in the middle of setting up our new Service Now Environment and are beginning the discovery phase. Was wondering if the Windows based MID servers support adding multiple virtual nics for the discovery scans? 1 nic with the gateway attached would be what communicates to service now in the cloud. The other attached vNics would be for communications to the various VLANS for discovery. Was looking at ways to avoid implementing firewall rules to allow a single IP to hit all of our DMZ networks.

I'd like to join in on this question. I have a similar situation. We have one MID server with two MID applications running on it. I'd like one of the MID application to use one of the two NICs when scanning and the other MID application to use the other. Is this something you can configure in the MID app? Also, when you register a MID application with an SN instance, how is the IP for the MID chosen when there are more than one NIC on the server? Is it depending on which NIC/IP you used to log into the server when you set up the MID application?

Hoping this would help anyone still looking for a solution that worked for me.
On the mid server, update the config.xml file to add the following parameter and restart the mid server for the changes to reflect.
<property name="mid.probe.local.address" value="<desired nic IP address>" />
