The need part is subjective, but we do "need" to have to multiple
IP addresses for a single network interface.
About linux support. Yep it does. as a starter, try something like
this
ifconfig eth0:1 <new_ip_address>.
to bind a new address to the ethernet card, you will also have to
play around with "route" command to make this extra ip address usable
(depending on whether the new address belongs to your subnet or another
subnet).
For more info read /usr/doc/NET-3-4-HOWTO.
