When I purchansed my linode I bought 2 IPs and at first I was running debian which I know how to configure for multiple IP use.
Since then I've converted to Gentoo and wish to know how I can make use of my 2nd IP, I've turned off the DHCP and am using the static configuration.

In the network file within gentoo there is an example of how to add additional IPs

If no one has answered this by later today, I will post an example when I get home.

Right then,

in /etc/conf.d/net

you need to add in an aliase for the second ip

alias_eth0="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
netmask_eth0="255.255.255.0"

I dont think the netmask is required, as you already have one set for the main IP.
