Hmm... I just tried this, but no luck.

I'm beginning to think that either (1) what I'm trying to do simply
isn't possible, or (2) the problem is somewhere else, like a hardware
problem.

Let me ask this: If I configure eth0 and eth1 as stated, is it
possible to ping both IP addresses from the outside world (e.g.
64.214.12.120)? Or does the ping to 214.74.132.20 (eth1) get routed
back out of 214.74.101.116 (eth0), and the computer sending the ping
doesn't recognize it?

All I'm trying to accomplish here is for the machine to respond to
requests from the outside world over either IP address, but so far
it's not working. Is this really tricky to do? Or should it be dead
simple, and I need to look for a problem somewhere else?

Thanks again,
Mike
