I found out how to do it in the newest NET-2-HOWTO.. i had to get a patch
for the kernel called ip-alias, and had to get a new set of net-tools
that uses the new kernel code.. after all is said and done now all I have
to do is type
ifconfig eth0 alias <alias.ip>
and it works great... thanks for all the responses
