Yes, especially if you use the 2nd ethernet port.
Another thought, why not use DHCP/RARP for the boxes, they start up by asking for their ethernet addresses based on the MAC address, so you can tell the boxes what they should be. You have the DHCP/RARPD server manage the IP addresses they get, then the server that should be idle gets a different IP address.
