I'm sure this is covered in a FAQ or HOWTO somewhere, but I can't find it. If it
is, please point me to the appropriate docs and accept my appologies.

I need for a web server to host multiple "home" pages. The logical way to do
that (I think) is to assign multiple IP addresses to the machine's single NIC.
How? Can ifconfig assign more than one IP address to device eth0, or do I need
to create a new device eth1 that has the same MAC address as eth0? Surely this
is pretty simple...

Hi Bruce,
Yes it is pretty simple. There are more ways than this
but you can use the Control Panel / Network config
program and make the aliases you want there or use the
Linuxconf IP aliases for virtual hosts under the Server
Tasks section of the tree.

Hope this helps.
