I put the configuration of my second NIC in /etc/init.d/network as you suggested when I did a similar thing on my own. One was just a 192.168.1.1 for my local LAN while the other is using dhcpc and both are configured with ifconfig and routed in that file. Hope this answers your question well enough. Ehren Wilson
