IP aliasing. Run linuxconf, and set up an ip alias for your
machine. If you're running the same service on both IP's such as
a webserver for each that responds differently, you need to use
virtual hosting. There are howto's on this on the doc CD.
Another option is to use VMware to do it, which simulates
multiple machines 100% by running multiple OS's simultaneously.
This is the best test bed for a 1 machine setup.

All software is flawed. All hardware is flawed. If you haven't learned
that yet, then you haven't been in tech support very long.
