As Christian says, check the HOWTO for the background. In short, though,
compile a kernel which supports aliases, and add an entry to
/etc/network/interfaces, eg ;

# first one
iface eth0 inet static
     address 130.95.13.17
     network 130.95.13.0
     netmask 255.255.255.192
     broadcast 130.95.13.63
     gateway 130.95.13.3

# WAIX alias
iface eth0:0 inet static
     address 172.26.42.17
     network 172.26.42.0
     netmask 255.255.255.192
     broadcast 172.26.42.63

Then, ifup -a/ifdown -a/ifup eth0:0/ifdown eth0:0 .

Nick.
