What is the proper way to do it, tried poking around on google, maybe
I'm just looking for the wrong thing. Or is it even a proper way to do
it? I have a box that is using kernel bridging so I have an IP on the
bridged interface, but would like to have it accessable via another IP
as well.

The New Testament offers the basis for modern computer coding theory,
in the form of an affirmation of the binary number system.
But let your communication be Yea, yea; nay, nay: for
whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
