Wouldn't that ruin the separation between the networks?

Stuart, this way lies madness me thinks. Do I get geek points for
pointing that out?

Why not just do the rational thing and use two similar but different
subnets, like 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24. Are you hardcoding IP
addresses in whatever it is you're testing?

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
