the "preferred" method for this (by me) is to use the ip utility from
iproute2:
ip addr add 192.168.1.10 dev eth0
ip addr add 192.168.1.11 dev eth0
but yeah--the ifconfig method works too...

routing. the "one-arm" router scenario can be made to work, as long as
you understand the traffic flow and the routing quirks that can arise.
the $25,000 question is: what is the default gateway of 10.10.10.11 and
.12?
is there a particular reason why your netfilter box can't have 2 NICs in
it, with the servers placed behind it?
