How to RSYNC from eth1 on PDC-SRV to eth1 on BDC-SRV?

I currently have my /home directory kept in sync between my primary and
backup domain controllers by using rsync --archive --checksum --update
--delete pdc-srv:/home/ bdc-srv:/home/. I noticed that when this
command is invoked, it tends to suck up the available bandwith to eth0
during the duration that the pdc is sending a large amount of data
packets to the bdc. So what I would like to do is install a second
1000BASE-T network adapter on both the pdc and bdc and link them
together with a crossover cable. Then when I invoke rsync, the data
stream would only travel from eth1 on the pdc to eth1 on the bdc and not
take up bandwidth on eth0. Is this possible? I have already spent
hours on Google.com searching, and I have not found an answer. I am not
highly-skilled at setting up advanced routing, so I am not sure how to
accomplish this task and do not know if it is even possible. Any help
and advice would be greatly appreciated.
