That looks interesting, but I don't have any time for development on this. 
I need something that "Just Works".

What I have done is written a script in /sbin/ifup-local, which will add 
the rules I need. I don't like it, but it will get me by. I think that in 
the long run the /etc/net approach will be a better strategy, but for now 
I need somehting which is also supported by RedHat-AS
