10.50.180.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
10.50.180.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth1

Yes. You can ping any internal network interface as long as it is are up; that is, enabled in the kernel device table and able to receive packets as is the case from the same system in which they exist.

No it is not legal, I would check out the window to see if there are
any helicopters or strange vans with large antennae.
pack a suitcase, leave by the back door and go to the bus stop.
