The easiest way to work around this would be to use interface aliasing
(a kernel build option). With this enabled, your single eth0 interface
can be split into multiple "virtual" interfaces, each with different IP
addresses, but all are responded to by the Linux box.
With this setup, you can have one virtual interface directed to the
local LAN, and the other directed to the cable modem, all with one
ethernet segment.
I still worry that your local LAN traffic will be picked up and
broadcasted out to the ISP, but that's your own issue to worry about.
NIC's are so cheap, I would just go ahead and buy a second one. :)
