Why do you suggest this? I'm not saying it is incorrect. I had 13 IP 
address bound to one NIC for about a year. Probably the biggest problem 
with doing that, is if I need to ifconfig down eth0, they all went down as 
well.
I recently found out about ebtables and bridging support in linux. Maybe 
that will be a topic of a GUM someday, someday, SOMEDAY!
