Primary & Secondary IP

Utilize both primary and secondary IP addresses in EZRider router to separate LAN into 2 subnets

Assumption

Use EZRider window GUI manager for configuration
The number of legal IP address is not enough for every station on the LAN
All stations want to be able to get on the Internet
Primary IP address will be used as gateway for subnet with legal IP addresses
Secondary IP address will be used as gateway for subnet with virtual IP address
DHCP function is used for virtual IP assignment
Legal IP address will be assigned statically
