afaik linux supports variable length subnetmasks, so you don't have to
care about one interface's subnetmask for another interface as long as
they don't overlap, which is NOT the case overhere. You could go even
further into that, e.g. take the first 16 IP-addresses (0-15) of which 14
are usable, and divide the rest of this Class C network into several
smaller subnets.
It would be silly if linux would have that limitation.
One exempla from real life I have with a LRP box with three interfaces, on
an originally class A network.
on the first, I have 10.100.254.0/24, on another one I have
10.100.80.0/21, and the last has 10.100.88.0/21 (I might be making a
mistake right now, anyway it's 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.248.0
(twice) resp.
Pther routers send everything for 10.100.80.0/20 (255.255.240.0) to this
10.100.254.X address.
