However thats beside the point, as far as i can see if you set a different IP# then the need for another MAC is (AFAIK) not nessasary. If ARP's are a problem then setting static arps may be an answer, once more i have no experiance with alising, possably Ray may have some advise for you.
Perhaps the best next step would be for you to explain why you need the interfaces to respond as though they were on different physical devices (that is, NICs with distinct MAC addresses). With that information, then maybe someone here could suggest a workaround. But as far as I know, NICs only support a single MAC address at any moment, not multiple ones.
