How terribly profligate of you, didn't you know there's a shortage;)

I use the iproute suite for this.

	ip addr add 10.0.0.2/24 brd + dev eth0 alias eth0:alias1


does the business.  The iproute tools are great, let you set up all
kinds of clever things (policy routing etc) but some features require
you to have configured the kernel as an advanced router.

(Note: if you also run ipx on a network then you need to make sure each
extra ip address is aliased to the same name as the interface - dev eth0
alias eth0 in this case - or bad things happen).
