Never mind. I saw the thread Michael Blinn started on Jan 10. (Two Subnets)

Funny Terrell that you were the one who posted the initial solution
and now you have discovered another use for your own idea. This is a
cool list.

Wondering as servers get bigger and more powerful if this setup should
be included in k12ltsp future releases as a pre-configured script so
people can just pop in another nic and run the script. Instant subnets
on different switches therebye doubling bandwidth to clients.
