Yes it is possible.
The "old" method with 1.2.x kernels is to use dummy interfaces
As with kernel 1.2.13 (tested and approved)
/sbin/insmod -o dummy0 dummy.o (Modul dummy-Interface!)
/sbin/ifconfig dummy0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
/sbin/route add -host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev lo
/sbin/arp -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY pub
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip adress of the interface and
YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY is the ethernet cards arp address
When using Linux kernels 1.3.xx you can use it with the alias mechanism
8-)
Make sure the alias- and ip_alias_Support is built into the kernel or
loaded as a module.
Then just do
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
/sbin/route add -host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev eth0:0
That's all

Exactly that is the reason I use the above method for (in conjunction
with Apache http server)
