Or just add an alias to your /etc/network/interfaces - file:
e.g.:
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.10
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.1.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.254
        gateway 192.168.1.1

this is your default configuration. now add one or more aliases:

iface eth0:0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.11
        netmask 255.255.255.0

iface eth0:1 inet static
        address 192.168.1.12
        netmask 255.255.255.0

and so on...

after that, just do as root a
/etc/init.d/networking restart

and then you have three ip - addresses configured for one nic.
this also works with "official" ips.

hope that helps!

Andy
