Hi,

You can bind multiple IP addresses to one physical interface by adding
them to /etc/network/interfaces. For example:

auto eth0
        iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.10
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.0.1
auto eth0:1
        iface eth0:1 inet static
        address 192.168.0.11
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.0.1
auto eth0:2
        iface eth0:1 inet static
        address 192.168.0.12
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.0.1
