Firstly your kernel should be compiled with config_ip_alias This is probably the default. Then simply do ifconfig eth0:0 inet ip.address netmask [netmask] up this shoudl set up an alias eth0:0 with the second ip. Put this in the startup scripts for your system network. probably /etc/rc.d/init.d/network in redhat and /sbin/init.d/network in SuSE to make it a permanent change since ifconfig changes are lost after rebooting.
