As you've seen from Aaron's reply, it's not really possible via DHCP. Your question is about solving a particular request from your $BOSS. His request seems to be a solution he came up with to a particular problem. There may be other solutions. I know he's the $BOSS, but maybe asking him some questions about the base problem may yield another solution. One thought, instead of putting 2 addresses on his machine, you could add another IP to the firewall/NAT machine and forward everything for that IP to his machine.
