This sounds like a really bad idea - theoretically it's possible to assign
eth0 and eth1 to a virtual server, but you're asking for trouble. It would be
far better to do it in real kernel space as the security risks are minimal -
if existant.

If you WERE to go ahead with it, you may have to resort to using eth0:0 and
eth0:1, as I'm not sure how to assign eth1 in a user-mode process, (I'm only
really familiar with tun/tap, literally only just installing vserver at this
time after playing with uml) and I'm sure someone else will fill you in on
that.

Just reconsider - why are you compartmentalising this service? Is it due to
security or just because you don't want the main server having _any_ services
above kernel-mode?
