I'm not sure if you found your answer yet or not, but basically, you
make new stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces for each IP you listen on
auto eth0 eht0:1 eth0:2
iface eth0:1 inet static
address x.x.x.x
netmask x.x.x.x
gateway x.x.x.x
iface eth0:2 inet dhcp
and so forth. man interfaces for some more inventive things you can do
with your networking.
