Sure, but normally, either .1 or .2 of a /30 subnet (ie, your .241
or .242) is the externally-connected router of your ISP. A few of
the better ISP's will support switching their devices from being a
router to acting like a bridge, thus requiring you to provide a dual-
homed machine yourself.
How else are you going to provide a default route except by using an
IP which is reachable on that subnet...?
