I tried setting up an ifcfg-eth0-range0 file in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
with the following inside the file :
IPADDR_START=192.168.1.3
IPADDR_END=192.168.1.10
CLONENUM_START=0
NO_ALIASROUTING=yes
This didn't work when I rebooted. Looking at the service calls during
bootup, it said "OK" for the ifcfg-eth0-range0 service but when it got
to the httpd service, the extra addresses weren't recognized and the
httpd couldn't bind to the virtual ip addresses I'm specifying in my
httpd.conf file. And, of course when I run ifconfig, it only shows the
original address I have setup for this NIC: 192.168.1.2 and the loopback
interface.
Additionally, when I run the "Network" tool in Gnome, this program
doesn't like this new file I made at all.
Mike, is there some other configurations that need to be set besides the
ifcfg-eth0-range0 file that need to be set in order for this to work. I
already have a ifcfg-eth0 file with this inside:
# Linksys|Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 model NC100
DEVICE=eth0:1
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
HWADDR=00:04:5A:77:17:1C
IPADDR=192.168.1.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
IPV6INIT=yes
Oh, and "hip-hip hooray" for kernel-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4.

I run the following commands at the shell to assign the

ifconfig eth0:2 192.168.1.3

I do this because I need to make these additional addresses
available for virtual hosts to accept requests on my apache
apache web server.
How can I get these commands to run on boot up automatically
without me having run them manually. My httpd service fails to
start on boot up because it requires these addresses to already
be available on the NIC, but my setup initially only bring eth0:1
up on 192.168.1.2.

As an addendum to Alexander's advice, you can also take a read
through the comments in the file:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases
For example, I use the file:
ifcfg-eth0-range0
like so:
============
IPADDR_START=192.168.1.42
IPADDR_END=192.168.1.180
CLONENUM_START=0
NO_ALIASROUTING=yes
============
to create aliases for all addresses from ...42 to ...180 in a single
file which will be handy if you plan to expand your alias usage in
the future as you won't have to create individual files.
