Let me make a few changes.  In order to get eth1 to also work, can I
add to /etc/network/interfaces:

# The secondary network interface
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet static
        address 99.999.999.138
        netmask 255.255.255.248
        network 99.999.999.136
        broadcast 99.999.999.999
        gateway 99.999.999.999
        dns-nameservers 99.999.999.999 99.999.999.999
        dns-search domain.com

Is there anything else I need to watch out for?  I know that the
firewall needs to be changed.
