it should be possible that both can reside in memory at the same time since
each is handling calls to different interfaces (emulated and real NICs)...
each interface would have to have a different IP number... how they get
that number is another matter... i've several machines here with multiple
NICs and emulated NICs... the emulated NICs get their IPs from bootp or
dhcp whereas i prefer to hardcode the real NICs to specific IPs...

in fact, i had JNOS on a machine, at one time, handling routing for my
network... the JNOS machine has a real NIC and did the emulated thing via
modem just like winwhatever boxes do with DUN and ICS or another
gating/routing/proxy...
