Yes, it should work. I've had as many as six adjacent IP addresses on
jogger-egg.com. The first one is interface eth0. The second is
eth0:0, the third is eth0:1, and so on.
I don't know nuthin' about linuxconf. I do it by editing the scripts
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. For example, I have this in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 .
DEVICE="eth0:0"
IPADDR="216.218.195.217"
NETMASK="255.255.255.240"
NETWORK=216.218.195.208
BROADCAST=216.218.195.223
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="none"
After restarting the network (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart), the
ifconfig command shows both eth0 and eth0:0 interfaces, with their two
different IP addresses.
It sounds like ifconfig is your first debugging tool -- what does it
show?
And, BTW, I saw something somewhere (sorry for the imprecise reference
(-: ) about the colon-interfaces being deprecated in the 2.4 kernel.
