ip addr add x.x.x.x dev eth0

(needs the iproute package that I don't remember if it's installed by
default in ubuntu)

or you can use aliases

ifconfig eth0:1 ....

I usually add an "up" line in /etc/network/interfaces doing the above
command:


iface eth0 inet static
        address x.y.z.114
        netmask 255.255.255.248
        gateway x.y.z.113
        up ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev eth0
        down ip addr del 192.168.1.2 dev eth0



the iproute tools are explained in the "Linux Advanced Routing and
Traffic Control HOWTO" (http://lartc.org/)
