[Local Network Tricks] two networks (IPs) on one box

[Example with eth0]

ifconfig eth0:1 10.0.0.1

This line add a secound network interface for 10.0.0.0 to your nic. The rest of the preferences are automatic made. So if you don't need special preferences like gateway and co. there is nothing more to do.

You can check it with route -n if it worked...

 route -n
