This an be done by:

Code:

ifconfig eth0:0 xx.xx.xx.xx netmask yy.yy.yy.yy up

where eth0 is your primary interface and eth0:0 is a virtual one

if you are new to Liux, then try the following command on the terminal :-

redhat-config-network

you would get a window wherein you can click on "new". in the window that appears, provide the required IP address. It will automatically take care of the other settings it wouldneed to do.

try putting each of ur web site names with specific IP addresses. It should work. Do this in the DNS script file. I think it is /etc/named.conf or /etc/name.conf

Just check that out
