Things are looking good now...  I've just flip flopped around the IRQ of the
cards so that I get my expected IP on my expected card.

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:20:AF:99:98:2A  
          inet addr:10.1.50.27  Bcast:10.1.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0
          Interrupt:5 Base address:0x220 

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:4B:25:9C:56  
          inet addr:192.168.50.1  Bcast:192.168.50.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0x230

The dhcp server is working on eth1 as well.

I'm going to set this box up as a caching DNS server for the machines inside
of it.  After that do I work NAT (ipmasq?) or FW (ipchains?) ?
