Use VLAN-trunks.
someone using a $350 micro server as his ADSL gateway is highly unlikely to have layer 2 managed switches capable of handling VLANs.
I think unmanaged switches will pass vlan trunk traffic and one vlan can be untagged/native. So if the server and one of the routers can add a tagged vlan interface they should be able to have what appears as a private connection on a different subnet. But probably not much better than just overlaying subnets unless you want to do something like nat based on postrouting to an interface.
