There's a kernel option in recent kernels to enable IP aliasing. Once
you've done that, IIRC you can set the network settings with ifconfig for
eth0:0, eth0:1, etc. - I think you have to do the eth0 before eth0:0 or
whatever. Then you do the obvious stuff with route as if they were just
different interfaces, if necessary.
