I think your plan is good, except that I've been told that rsync takes a long time to duplicate all the hardlinks in the BackupPC pool. About a month ago I had the same question as you and somebody on this list recommended that I just set up BackupPC on the remote server and configure it to talk to the host machines directly. The only drawback (if it even is a drawback) is that the remote server won't have the exact same backup info as the local BackupPC server, since they will likely perform their backups at different times of the day.
