Please, excuse me but I'm not sure I got your suggestion and  I'm realizing
I didn't correctly describe my lab set up.

At the moment, the router between both servers provides Internet access to
server1.
That means it has one WAN interface eth0 which is "on server2 side" and one
eth1 LAN interface which is on server1 side.
Currently, this router do NAT translation for server1.

Having clarified my setup, I guess your advice is to :
1. add address 1.2.3.4 to router's eth0
2. add address 4.3.2.1 to server2 interface
3. configure router to route trafic to 4.3.2.1 using server2 private
address (such as "ip route add 4.3.2.1/24 via 192.168.1.25")
4. configure server to route trafic to 1.2.3.4 using router private address

Is this correct ?
