[SLL] Router config help needed

[Ralph Sims]

I have set up a simple Linux router that I want to use to help test some
applications.  Is there a simple way to assign a full private address block
(176.16.0 /16) to eth0?  I need to be able to ping and traceroute to these
addresses.  I can break the /16 into subnets to get around any limitation to
the number of addresses I don't need to "route" these beyond the test box
nor make them publicly available beyond the lab.

Thanks!
