The nicest alternative is to set up a VPN connection that tunnels/routes 
between the office and remote subnets so everything works the same as a 
local connection.  If you can't arrange that, you can set up openvpn 
connections to each backup target or tunnel the rsyncd connection 
through ssh port forwarding.
