[lug] Binding multiple IPs to one NIC

[Brad Doctor]

Or, you could just copy /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:2
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:3
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:4

Make sure you change the DEVICE entry, and you should be all set.
And, you will need to specify the correct information within the file, which
should be self-explanatory.

If it is eth1, change eth0 to reflect, of course.
The kernel will do the network routes for you, so no need to specify.
