Hi James,
I do not think that the setup you mentioned is something unusual. The
director only contacts FD and SD and these two communicate directly. You
should read the documentation for firewall configuration
http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Dealing_with_Firewalls.html .
I am not sure about the bandwidth requirements. As the data itself pass
straight from FD to SD, there must be some communication to the Director
to store the metadata in to the catalog. And of course the catalog
backups will go from director to SD.
