Thanks! Hmmmm... This gives a whole new meaning for the interfaces file to me... > This is a router, which is why it has a static ip address.

Personally I always added the static addresses in the up after the ipv4 stuff. Yours seems like the correct way. Hmmm. I have to look into it. For me it is new behaviour that ifup will handle multiple iface eth0 entries. (I probably didn't read the manpages right). I will experiment with it to try to understand what is going on.
