ip aliasing

[zerg4141]

Hi, I am trying to set up a "pseudo" interface on my ethernet card, to have in effect two interfaces on one physical device, much like VMware has its "vmnet" interface. So far the only way i've found to do this though is through IP aliasing. But with aliasing, I cannot seem to get my dhcp server to give my eth0:0 alias interface a dhcp lease.

Is this possible? If so, how, or if not, what is the best way to have two interfaces with one network card?

Thanks in advance,

dhclient eth0:0 or dhcpcd eth0:0

Or use a static address on the extra "card"
