Use System Tool>>Network.
configure two devices, each with the same hardware but the different static 
IPs.
Disable 'Boot on startup'
Enable 'Allow users to activate this device'

Now you should be able to Start/Stop the Network
1/By running 
 #ifup ethX  (where X is the number of the device you created for the static 
 IP you want.
2/ Through the Network Device Control
3/ Via the Systems Settings>>Network dialog

Works for me YMMV
