I have this on Debian in /etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 82.xxx.148.194
netmask 255.255.255.128
gateway 82.xxx.148.131
auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 82.xxx.148.195
netmask 255.255.255.128
auto eth0:2
iface eth0:2 inet static
address 82.xxx.148.196
netmask 255.255.255.128
auto eth0:3
iface eth0:3 inet static
address 82.xxx.148.197
netmask 255.255.255.128


What I want to know is what is equivalent for this on Gentoo.  Let's just
say this is VPS server with 4 IP's assigned to me as customer
