Doing some research I discovered that this is called IP Aliasing. So, all I
need to do is configure for IP Aliasing and both networks will be happy?
Sounds almost too simple.

What would have to be done to the router? Do you mean the router on my side
or the one I am calling into? I am not worried about firewalling between me
and the remote office. The office network is trusted and it itself is
firewalled so I am pretty secure.

Will this also allow machines on my private network to see the machines on the
office net? Would this require IP Masq since the office net does not know
anything about my private nodes? Or can this be handled via proper routes in
my Linux box?
