If I had to do that, I'd probably use the analog
graphics signal, and convert the console connection
to PS/2 with the hp A7782A USB-PS/2 adaptor. You
didn't mention the exact graphics port/card ID,
but I'd be surprised if the DVI port isn't DVD-I
(analog and digital), needing only a Dsub15/HD15
breakout cable. It may even have an HD15 port.

KVM-over-IP solutions for VGA and PS/2 are probably
quite a bit less expensive than DVI-D and USB.

Note that running 1280 res does raise the cost, and
frame rates will likely be horrible for anything
other than admin uses, unless your network is 1 Gb
or faster, and the KVM adaptor has a very fast
(and expensive) ADC/encoder.

I have no specific recommendations for KVM brands,
as I last looked at this market 3 years ago.
