Hi,
Aliasing multiple IP's to a nic works in mostt situations but keep in mind if 
they are regular nics, they are also sharing the nics budffer etc, so aside 
from the bandwidth on the cable, you share the nics resources. 
We have one server at work which until recently had 12 virtual IP's, but it 
only servered out medium traffic web sites.
