Route Replication Traffic over a different interface...

I have a 7.6.1 (2.6.1) environment consisting of a Solaris master and 4 x 5220 media server appliances at our primary site.  At our collocation we have a 5320 master and a large (225TB) 5330 media server.

Replication traffic is currently going outbound on our primary production subnet to get to the collocation.  What I would like to do is have all of this replication traffic from the 5220s to the 5330 go over a *dedicated* non-production subnet (the 5220s are already connected to this subnet).

Is this as simple as configuring all the 5220s to have a "Preferred Network" setting with the 5330 as the "TARGET" IP and the non-production subnet as the "SOURCE"?

Sadly I do not have a separate non-production environment to try this in...

Yup.  And I've tried what I *thought* should work from a "Preferred Network" config... but when I check Monitor-NetworkStatus it does not appear to be working.

For reference, the Preferred Network setting:

PREFERRED_NETWORK = 10.1.133.0/24 MATCH 169.143.74.203

The 10.1.133/24 subnet is the remote subnet at our collocation, and the 74.203 is the appliance interface on the non-production subnet.
