	# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

	# The loopback interface
	iface lo inet loopback

	# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
	# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)

	iface eth0 inet static
		address 192.168.1.1
		netmask 255.255.0.0
		network 192.168.1.0
		broadcast 192.168.1.255

	iface eth1 inet static
		address 208.33.90.85
		netmask 255.255.255.0
		network 208.33.90.0
		broadcast 208.33.90.255
		gateway 208.33.90.84

	#iface tunl0 inet6 v4tunnel
	#	address
	#	netmask 255.255.255.0
	#	endpoint 192.168.0.1
	#	gateway 300.400.500.600
