You can configure one interface to have multiple address
From Solaris FAQ:
4.11) How can I have multiple addresses per interface?
Solaris 2.x provides a feature in ifconfig that allows having more than
one IP address per
interfaces. (Undocumented but existing prior to 2.5, documented in 2.5)
Syntax:
ifconfig IF:N ip-address up
where "IF" is an interface (e.g., le0) and N is a number between 1 and
255. Removing the pseudo
interface and associated address is done with "ifconfig IF:N 0.0.0.0
down".
