Interesting.  I kinda skimmed over the VCB docs recently but apparently missed 
the 'NW server on same SAN' part.  At that point I'd be more inclined to make 
one of the various VMWare servers (perhaps the secondary VirtualCenter system) 
a storage node and use that to service VM backups.

Are there problems with such a method?
