[OpenIndiana-discuss] Static routes (OpenIndiana-discuss Digest, Vol 23, Issue 42)

[Ong Yu-Phing]

Assuming that your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, this means your two 
subnets are separate (192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.10.0/24).

Then accessing 192.168.10.2 and 192.168.10.1 would be on a separate 
media (your crossover cable; although a modern switch, not hub, would 
also do, since they do point-to-point links, e.g. the HP 2510g's I use 
have 96Gbps capacity across 48ports.  If you are really paranoid about 
any data leakage, you can also VLAN them)

So all you need to do is an rsync using the IP rather than hostname (or 
create an entry in the hosts file for the private IP:
192.168.0.100 machineA
192.168.10.2 privateA
)

e.g. from machine A, rsync -av user at 192.168.10.1:/whatever
