Interesting question,

You could try binding a second IP segment as a secondary on the interface
and possibly NAT that.

You could put your cable modem on one IP segment and the rest of your lan on
the other.

I haven't tried it, but it should work.

If you VLAN it out through a multi-vlan port (as on a Cisco 2924 Switch) you
could even do yourself a nice DMZ segment.
