What he said is correct: you should two addresses to the NIC (e.g. "eth0:0" and "eth0:1") so that your computer will answer to both the ADSL ATM network and your internal LAN.
This will work, but bare in mind just one thing: AFAIK the 10.x.x.x address is really an address on Bezeq's internal ATM network (the ADSL "modem" really translates the Ethernet from one end to ATM over ADSL on the other). This means that everyone that has access to this ATM network has access to your internal LAN.
Now, ATM isn't AFAIK a shared media solution (like the cables), but I would bet my Bezeq stocks that they left enough gaps in there to let someone connect from their home to your home using the ATM network, or of course maybe not:
You're sure you want to join the experiment? you're sure you want to join the experiment? you're sure you ... ;-))
