Hey Mike you'll never believe what I found today.

I found specific instructions on how to configure the NIC with two IPs, one 
of them being a DHCP assigned address. The short answer is, it's a registry 
hack.

See the web page here: http://www.wown.info/j_helmig/multiipa.htm

The relevant section is near the bottom, but the whole page was mildly 
interesting. :)

WARNING! Editing the registry CAN cause your Windows machine to become 
unstable (even more than normal) do so at your own risk. (I love putting in 
disclaimers.)
