It should be theoretically possible (you could do this sort of thing on
Linux with a software bridge for example) but I'm not sure what it gives
you: if you can talk to the 192.168.0.1 address, why does it need the
second interface?  If you can't talk to the 192.168.0.1 address, why
bother having it?  i.e. I can see why you might want one or the other
but not both.
