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.
