Good thing this isn't windows where you have to reboot the machine (or
sleep/wake) to get the IP info to change...
FWIW, I often have to do a full stop/start on network to make it take
effect, the restart for some reason doesn't always work for me.

Here is what I use, it's not much, but works:
# eth-switch
#
# switch between home and work ethernet
#
if [ $1 == "home" ]; then
echo "Switching to home:"
cp -f /etc/resolv.conf.home /etc/resolv.conf
cp -f /etc/sysconfig/network.home /etc/sysconfig/network
cp -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/home.ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0`
cp -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/home.ifcfg-airport
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-airport
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
elif [ $1 == "work" ]; then
echo "Switching to work:"
cp -f /etc/resolv.conf.work /etc/resolv.conf
cp -f /etc/sysconfig/network.work /etc/sysconfig/network
cp -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/work.ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
else
echo "Not a valid option: $1"
fi
##
I'd like to make it more generic and check to make sure all the cp's
worked, but for now its simple and works. Just make sure you have the
files defined which are copied back and forth.
