You will be surprised at how easy this is. First, you can not assign 2
addresses to the same NIC. That's a physical thing. BUT nothing says that
you cann't have more than NIC right? So we take your NIC and make it look
like it is more than one NIC. Here's the process.
First, run 'ifconfig' as root, and verify that eth0 is set the way that you
want it to be. I would do the following:
#ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + up
Then rerun ifconfig by itself to ensure that the settings took place. Next
you want to setup a virtual interface on the current NIC. Pretty much the
same as the last command except that we modify the ethernet identifier.
#ifconfig eth0:1 198.98.141.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + up
The when you run ifconfig again, you will see 2 ethernet cards with the
different IP's assigned to them. You can have up to 255 VIF's assigned to
each physical NIC. Pretty cool huh? How do you drop the VIF when you
don't want it? Try this:
#ifconfig eth0:1 0.0.0.0 down
There you go.
