You probably shouldn't be doing this; grabbing a random IP as you are doing could interfere with your or someone else's internet connectivity. By assigning an IP address without using DHCP, you could end up with a duplicate IP address with unpredictable results.

A better option would be to (manually) assign an address of 192.168.1.16 / mask 255.255.255.0 to your Airport Express, and add 192.168.1.17/24 to en1. Since IPs starting with 192.168. are not legal internet adresses, you won't run the risk of a duplicate IP address.
