Direct a TSM client to connect to another TSM server

It would be helpful if a TSM server could direct a TSM client to connect to another TSM server, either temporarily or permanently. Currently we have to change a TSM configuration file on a client server (dsm.opt) to change its default or find how the client is invoked and change its invocation; this would be helpful for both temporary fixes and for permanent changes where we can�t wait for a client administrator to make a change. We acknowledge that there are many situations that become very complicated very quickly, such as with Storage Agents, but even a solution that covered �only� simple TCP/IP connections would be a great start.
