That doesn't sound too hard. If you don't mind I have a couple of
follow-up questions I'd like to ask so I don't munge anything... ;-)

As far as I know, I only have one interface, (eth0.) Does setting up
ifconfig in this way *supplement* what's already there, or *replace*
what's already there?

I'm treading into uncharted waters here and I want to make sure I can
reset things to their original state if things don't go right. Is
there a way to check the current state of affairs?

Thanks!
