	That was a long line indeed! I suppose that you mean you
compiled your kernel with IP aliasing. To use ifconfig with it, just use
"ifconfig eth0 blahblah" to config your first address, and "ifconfig
eth0:n blahblah[n]", where n is the configuration associated to each of
the other addresses. Then you just add routes for each of the new
interfaces: eth0, eth0:0, eth0:1 and so on.

	There's an IP-Aliasing HOWTO lurking about in /usr/HOWTO, which
might cover more advanced stuff.
