If your networking equipment supports VLAN, you could add a virtual lan 
to the existing ethernet device.

vconfig add eth0 42

Then assign an address to eth0.42.  You can use eth0 for your endpoints 
and eth0.42 for your provider or whichever way you want it.

You do then, of course, need to turn trunking onto the switch port that 
is connected to eth0 and enable VLAN 1 and 42. You will need to make it 
permanent via system config scripts.
For RedHat based distros, this includes /etc/sysconfig/network and 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.42 files.

I have never tried this with your exact situation, but it works well for 
me in other projects.
