ip link set up dev eth0
ip address add your_real_ip_here peer 192.168.0.1
ip route add default via 192.168.0.1
ip route flush cache
and you are done. Have no idea if this can be done with ifcfg-eth0 (not AFAIK).
you can however give no IP/MASK in yout ifcfg-eth0 and add these (withot
the first one) in /etc/rc.d/rc.local for example.
