You want ip aliasing. You need a free ip address in the 10.x.y.z net, say 10.1.2.3 # modprobe ip_alias # ifconfig eth0:0 10.1.2.3 netmask 255.0.0.0 broadcast 10.255.255.255 # route add -net 10.0.0.0 dev eth0:0 The reason why route alone does not work is (and please may someone more knowledgeable than me correct me if I am wrong!) that arp requests for the own/other IP are not answered or generated right.
