It is not possible to configure more then one subnet on the client network for the FS76xx NAS. Think of the way a typical NIC is configured, you can't have more then one subnet assigned to a standard NIC either.
The virtual IP address used for client access to the entire NAS subsystem controls (redirects traffic) to a physical interface on the NAS client side. The Virtual IP and physical Client interfaces must all be on the same subnet, and can't be divided into other subnets.
If there are clients that reside on a subnet that is not the same as the NAS cluster client subnet, the network is routed, and clients can access NAS container data by using a router or layer 3 switches. In a routed network configuration, configure multiple NAS cluster IP addresses for proper load balancing.
You will either need to update the slower link or change other components of the network to get more direct route to the NAS from the Mac workstation subnet.

Can anyone confirm/deny if this is possible/supported?
