This doesn't work for me, which is quite annoying: the machine answers arp
for 192.168.1.254 (its IP on the private net on eth1) when arping'ed on
the official side (eth0). Networks are physically separated, the official
side is inside a big network which routes 192.168 internally, so this is
really bad. If anyone could fix it I would be pleased...
