    Probably you need to assign this ip on loopback interface.
    This address will no more used for arp, but still can be accessible if
    there is route (IPv4 gw based or LLaddr gw based) for other hosts on
    ethernet.

    But, there is some drawbacks also - source IP address autoselect will
    not chose this IP when you connection to other host.
