I have several servers that are not doing to much and I need to

multiple IP's and hostnames? So the network will see this one server

You can add multiple IP's but for most purposes all you need
is multiple names pointing to the one IP address. You can
do this with DNS aliases:
othername IN CNAME realname
and you can add as many other names as you want.
If you do add multiple IP's, be aware that the source address
for outbound connections may change to one of the new ones
so you may have to adjust firewall and access rules.
Adding to the mention of firewall rules... iptables (when last checked),
i believe does not recognize eth0:X as a device and as such rules
related to said traffic still have to be applied based on the main
interface.
Correct me if I'm wrong...
