Hey Bill, to alias an address on a NIC, go to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. You want to create a script called
ifcfg-ethx:n where x is the NIC you wish to alias and :n is the
iteration. Here is an example of my ifcfg-eth0:1 file.
# Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
# for the documentation of these parameters.
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
BOOTPROTO='none'
DEVICE='eth0:1'
IPADDR='10.0.13.1'
TYPE='Ethernet'
ONBOOT='yes'
USERCTL='no'
NETWORK='10.0.13.0'
BROADCAST='10.0.13.255'
PEERDNS='no'

If you need a gateway, add the line GATEWAY=xx.xx.xx.xx
Where xx.xx.xx.xx is the gateway you are using for the second address.
Make sure the permissions are the same as ifcfg-eth0 et al. Then just
ifup eth0:1.
Good luck
Ed.
