not trying to complicate things, but i had to test this on a diff
machine (same HW, but running gentoo instead of FC1--can't blow up my
laptop right this moment).

from a machine assigned 10.1.1.100/16 and 10.2.1.100/16, i can ping:
10.1.0.1, 10.1.1.1, 10.1.2.1, 10.1.3.1, 10.1.4.1, 10.2.254.1, 10.2.25.1,
10.1.25.1, 10.2.255.1
...on the test machine with all the 10.[1-2].[0-255].1/24 addresses.
we might be going about this all wrong...are you sure the problem is the
linux box with all the IP's, and not something else? perhaps you're
overflowing the MAC table of a connected switch (just a thought)?
