That sounds like you want to use "IP aliasing":
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.1.47
netmask 255.255.240.0
broadcast 10.0.15.255
gateway 10.0.0.1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 192.168.17.17
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.17.255
This setup will have packets to both local networks (10.0.0.0/20 and
192.168.17.0/24) go out over the wire attached to eth0; packets going
further in the world go via 10.0.0.1.
Any setup more complicated than this involves setting up real routing
tables, and/or having multiple physical interfaces. You can use an
'up' command to add an extra route:
up route add -net 192.168.18.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.17.18
