Sorry!

By the way, it looks like there's a moderately-easy way to achieve
network interface isolation (on Linux at least); it looks like you can
use the "chbind" command from the VServer project without going to the
trouble of setting up a whole virtual machine (its own filesystem, etc)

I'm waiting to be allocated a second IP; once I get it and try it out
I'll let you all know if this crazy scheme actually works.
