Virtual interfaces are supported on Solaris. You can add up to
254 virtual interfaces. This also should work for linux.
Steps to follow:
1) Add the IP address associated with the hostname of the virtual
interface (hme0:1) in /etc/hosts as follow:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx hostname # hme0:1
2) Create the file /etc/hostname.hme0:1 and put the hostname in it
3) No reboot, but "ifconfig hme0:1 plumb" and then
"ifconfig hme0:1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx up"
That's it.

Solaris also comes for free!!!! for non comercial users. And the question was in
my opinion general enough to go on any unix-like mailing list.
