Yup, it's possible. I have it setup just this way on my home

You need to make some tweaks to a couple of scripts and configuration
settings, so that you use the mysql '-h <hostname>' option.
Let's see, I hacked the /etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup to
take a fourth parameter, which is the hostname of the system to
contact for mysql backups.
In the Catalog { ... } definition in the bacula-dir.conf I had to add
the line "DB Address = <hostname>"
I think that was it really.
