You would probably be okay with IP aliases. redhat-config-network (a.k.a. neat) has an easy way to add IP aliases to your device. Simply click "New" -> "Ethernet" -> Select the ethernet device -> setup IP. When you restart networking it should show up as eth0:X where X is a number incrementing from zero. Each can have a unique IP address on the same physical interface. After you created one or more IP aliases, look at these files: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0* You can simply make additional copies with appropriate filenames and config changes to configure IP aliases manually.
