Hmm, I am doing this, completely painlessly.  I re-configged my ethernet
cards and modified sysconfig for them - and it worked.  I also am not
firewalling, I'm using 10.0.0.0 as my local net. I've done this on 2.1.5
and 2.2-BETA.

No static routing is required, unless you're trying to forward packets
(which I can't because of the bogus network...)

Please send me dmesg output of the configuration info for the two cards,
and the results of 'netstat -nr', before you add the static route.
