Just one - the one you want to use - since they're both valid, flip a
coin.

So, judging by that, "Paul" can ping 10.241.37.1 and "Ben" can ping
10.241.35.1, but not the linux interfaces? I'll go look up that proc
file if so.

I'll note here that even having a box on both networks is "bad" if they're
segregated for a reason.. seems like both are internal networks, which
isn't so bad, but I've seen people put a box on a DMZ and the internal
network... eep!
