Fred Wright on this list says it is a hack therefore it is :)
But seriously, it requires out of spec examining of ip packets
etc. I'm sure a web search would throw up some proper details.

It would be quite simple actually. Right now your lan is eg.
192.168.0.x / 255.255.255.0
so you would make your serial interface on another subnet eg.
192.168.1.x / 255.255.255.252
The subnet mask has changed because you only have 2 machines on
that net.
so wherever in your config for the things connected via serial
replace the 192.168.0.x with the 192.168.1.x where x should be
chosen so that you get the following in the bit pattern:
xxxxxxx0 first machine
xxxxxxx1 second machine
I hope this is not too confusing.
