Aha, this is a config question.  You can just add as many ip addresses 
to each physical card as you like.  I forget the exact syntax, but check 
man pages for "ifconfig" and look for "aliases".

Chances are your distro already has support for this.  For example in 
gentoo you edit /etc/conf.d/net and edit the aliases line.  Different 
configs for all "normal" distros, but same idea
