The number of IP addresses on one interface in kernel 2.2.x is only
limited by physical memory as far as I can tell. In a test I was able to
assign over 7000 numbers to one eth - worked without problems, only
ifconfig took nearly 10 minutes to get me a list (old 233mhz machine
with suse 6.4 and suse kernel 2.2.14)
