Easiest way for sure, just make sure you dont assign the same ip twice. :)
Let DHCP take care of any additions to your lan.
In this way you can route services to other machines and take the guess
work out of changing your uplink machine.
IPNR allows you to make configurations and bring them up as needed
for a available port. then route them through other ports. Using static ip's
and the right config for ipnetrouter should get Mark where he wont's.
A old pc with 2 nics and a flavor of linux can be handy also.
