Cheap Gigabit switch will allow DHCP thru it?

I have found to my dismay, that I have my on board ethernet port 
(gigabit) connected to to my router (only 100Mbit).  It is a dhcp 
client.  My add on cheap ethernet card (100Mbit) is connected to the 
hdhomerun.  It has the dhcp server for the hdhomerun(s).  Is there a 
simple way to swap eth0 and eth1?  I *think* this would work...

I would want the 1Gbit interface to go the the switch and the 
hdhomeruns.  It would have dhcp server.  The 100Mbit interface would go 
to my router for the external interface.  It would be a dhcp client, 
getting its IP from the router.

I could just put in a gigabit ethernet card, but that would be $20 or 
so.  What is my best option?
