Multiple MACs on a single NIC

[Jason Aeschilman]

I'd like to know if this is possible as well.  I know you can manually
assign the MAC using ifconfig, but you can only configure one MAC to a given
physical interface (e.g, eth0).  Is it the kernel or network card driver
that determines the MAC that gets handed out in an ARP request?

Now as for your exact situation "chicks", does your ISP use DHCP to assign
the IPs?  If so, I don't see how you can get your FC2 box to grab more than
one IP anyway.
