You might try "ip route add broadcast 10.0.1.0/24 dev eth0" -- that should get the router to link-layer broadcast packets on eth0's link. I think the important question here is, why do you want to do this? Are you trying to bridge these two networks (i.e., make them appear to be a single subnet)? If so, this is not the way to go about it.
