Yes. This is called "IP aliasing" in the Linux kernel. See CONFIG_IP_ALIAS
in the kernel configuration, and networking/alias.txt in the kernel docs.

Sounds like aliasing is not compiled into your kernel. Are you using a
stock distro kernel or your own custom build? If the former, what distro and
release? If the latter, rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_IP_ALIAS turned on.
