Not only a tendency, but that's what I do.

I was looking for my saved message on how to set a second eth0 interface, but I cannot find it. That's what I did before. Thinking a bit more, I realize that reaching a world-addressable IP address is different from reaching a non-world-addressible IP address from within the LAN. I'll go search for the ifconfig syntax to add a second network to eth0.
