It sounds to me like you're using one nic just to get the nameserver, why not
just set it manualy?
Unless this a firewall, you can use just one NIC.
Linux has a nifty feature that allows a NIC to have multiple IP addresses,
which can be quite useful. Just configure the interfaces eth0:0, eth0:1, etc.
Perhaps it would be easier to have your dhcp sevrer give a static IP based on
the hardware address, below is a snippet of my dhcpd.conf that you can use.
An easy way to find your hardware address is by running `ifconfig` as root
with no arguments
#dhcpd.conf
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.65 192.168.0.254;
--- snip ----
# fixed addresses handled by dhcp
host mobile {
next-server mobile;
hardware ethernet 00:10:4B:9F:A2:F1;
fixed-address 192.168.0.20;
}
}
