I thought of this, it's an ifconfig parameter, but if he needs to register the MAC before he can recieve a DHCP, then he'll probably only be able to get one at a time.
I don't know the answer to this, but would it work to make ETH0 and ETH1 the same physical device? Also, could you run 2 MACs simultaneously on a NIC? Two IPs, sure, but 2 MACs? That I'm not so sure about.
