Unfortunatly it seems that with OS X, adding another port to an interface either A) Doesn't work, B) Needs another step that we're missing, or C) (possibly part of B) We need to reboot the machine to load the new port even though the 'Apply Now' button would seem to indicate otherwise.
As I said, I've tried to ping the second port from other machines on my local LAN and always time out. Looking at the Network Utility program it seems that we should be able to add more ports because the wording says something along the lines of 'IP address(es)' when describing your Ethernet card.
