Hi--

I'm working on a new feature for our load testing product and have been 
stumped on a Linux configuration issue. The product needs to send out 
HTTP requests from multiple IP addresses in order to fake out IP-based 
load balancers. To do this I need to configure a Linux box to have 
multiple IP addresses on the same network card, but for the life of me 
I can't find the HOWTO or docs to do this. Strangely enough it seemed 
fairly easy on Windows :-(

Any pointers to the right documentation would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,
