	That's reasonably simple using alias interfaces on IPv4 (IPv6 you
simply add more addresses to the same interface).

	Use interfaces like eth0:0, eth0:1 and you can add more addresses to
eth0.  You can also create an ifcfg range file to and ranges of
addresses (ranges must all fall within a unique /24).  You can also use
"ip address add" to add addresses (on IPv4, this does the same thing as
adding an alias interface while on IPv6 it merely adds more addresses to
the same interface).
