1. Mount the disk on one computer. 2. Partition the disk with two HFS+ journaled partitions.. 3. Start back-ups of Computer one on one partition. 4. Possibly lock down security on second partition to only allow a specific network user to use the disk. 5. Go to computer 2 and mount partition 2 using a user that can read/write to the partition over the LAN. To do this go to finder's Go menu and find the network menu item. 6. Now when you go into system preferences under time machine and click on select disk, it will ask you once again for your user name and password and then eventually start backing up the computer.
The primary issue with doing a backup like this is that time machine will create a sparse disk image for the remote time machine disk that will have little or no idea of other things writing to the disk, so if your Time Machine backup gets full you could run into issues.
