I'm aware of the security WTF implicit in this question... again, out of my control.  I'm allowed to do certain configurations but not others.

A dedicated network for backups was previously deemed to be an unacceptable security risk.  I don't know why, that's just the way it is.

So I'm stuck doing what I can within the bounds of what I'm permitted to hook up and where and how.  (I also can't get VLAN-tagged switch ports, for example; one NIC per network is de rigeur.)

Right now, I'm adding a private IP to lo:0 (this is RHEL 6.4) and on each (all RHEL, various versions) host adding two static routes to that IP via /etc/sysconfig/static-routes.  Ugly, but so far it does work.  Only works because I have access to manipulate the routing tables on my own servers, though...

They are not firewalled anymore if you add a dualhomed host.
Why not backup from a third vlan that is firewalled against the other
two to only accespt the neccessary backup traffic?
