Garret, I'd be interested in seeing what references you have that
say having two NICs on the same wire (with NON-overlapping net ranges)
is somehow broken or illegal or technically incorrect.

I had always assumed this was perfectly legal, just like running
AppleTalk and TCP/IP on the same wire is perfectly legal.
