depends on the netmask! so, e0 = 172.16.1.1/255.255.255.0
and e1=172.16.1.5/255.255.255.255 is ok.
but I agree that it is generally "sane" to reserve logical subnets for each
physical subnet!
otherwise, routing between'em may become a nightmare...
and, if one is using a private addressing scheme, then no rationnal
argument may explain why
the address space is not divided into mny regions, each for a network!
Also, I choose the 10.*. since it is free, I like to have a large one!
(no, Virginia, we are not talking about sex...). Also, typing "ping 10.1"
is handy...
cheers,
