man interfaces
in your interfaces file write:
iface eth0:0 init dhcp
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
.....
You can actually bring up and down the dhcp interface without affecting
the static IP address. I have used this technique to set up the school
network at home to test but use my normal gateway which is on an
entirely different network.
