Switch the cable
Put the internet on the primary port (this one does DHCP).
Put the lan in the secondary port and switch the IP addresses.

That should have taken care of the problem.
NAT and things like that *should* work automatically when connected.

Uhm you will have to set it up on the secondary port then ;-)

Don't you would be fighting against scripts all over the place.
Don't do it. I don't think it's worth it.

The secondary interface can only be given a static IP.
