This is called IP-aliasing.
Try reading this document:
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini/IP-Alias

btw.. it's always good to look at the documentation at:
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/ (there are also mirrors)

rather before asking on a list, but before. :)

hope this helps a lot,

PS I think you can also look at: www.linux-howto.com (it's a lot easier
to remember and it take a load of the other documentationservers).
