Humm, a 'service network restart' only takes a couple of seconds per 
NIC, and you should always make a backup of any file you modify 
before you modify it just so the recovery is as simple as mv'ing the 
original back, and doing a restart.  Theres a fair chance nobody will 
notice unless you have to resort to the recover and restart.
