Yes, we've done it this way on p5.  You will need to tweak host files on
your master server as your internal VLAN is not visible to the master,
so the metadata needs to go via the external LAN address.  The actually
backup data is then constrained to the high speed internal VLAN.

Don't forget to change the MTU on the interfaces on the internal VLAN NIC
- we use 65394 which dramtically reduces hypervisor overhead due to
fragmentation.  Note that this won't work if you intend to route your
internal VLAN externally.

HTH,
Dale
