My favorite technique is to ifconfig eth0:0 or whatever to a virtual
number, with the -arp flag.

This works great on 2.0.36,  not sure about the 2.2.x kernels.

We have successfully used 2.0.36-vs (direct routing method), but
it does fail at extremely high loads.  Seems like a cumulative effect,
after about a billion or so packets forwarded.  Some kind of kernel memory
leak, I'd guess.
