You should be able to bind multiple addresses to a single ethernet card.

I am not certain if there is a guio for doing this.  I just use the brute 
force method.

Go into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and make a copy of ifcfg-eth0. Call 
it ifcfg-eth0:0.

Edit ifcfg-eth0:0 and change the device to eth0:0 and the ipaddress and 
other variables as needed.

When done, run /etc/init.d/network restart

/sbin/ifconfig should show both addresses.

Hope that helps.  (This is from memory, so if it does not work, drop me a 
note off-list and I will test what is wrong.)
