Is it possible for doing something like that in a router?
A router's interface with more than one ip addresses???

I'm 'just' a unix admin, not a network specialist. So I don't know what can be done with routers/switches (hubs are just 'dumb' pass thru boxes).

But it should not be that hard to do, a packet send over the network has a source and destination, as long as the network hardware (routers etc) knows where the destination can be found it can send the packet that way. I.e. normal behaviour for correctly configured network hardware.
