[ILUG] 3 IP's one machine?

[Paul Jakma]

neat trick:

loopback interfaces are visible from the outside (if ip_forward) set. So
you can setup lot's of loopback interfaces with different IP's if you
want.

you could literally have a seperate network completely inside your
box. then you just tell everyone that you are the gateway for that subnet.
