How do i bind 10 ip's to one RH 9.0 Box?

You would start by reinstalling with gentoo. If this doesnt appeal to you then you need to try posting redhat questions to a redhat forum.

I am a Gentoo fan, however the server i have is located in a Datacenter where i dont get to choose the OS but the price is right. I asked this question here, because i know there are alot of people that know alot about all flavors of linux and are generous enough to share their knowlege.

So please, someone who knows how help me.

Sorry, I didnt mean to come off rude. Well, maybe i sorta did, but I am sorry anyway. I would search your Redhat Documentation (I know the redhat.com web site has some as well) for ipaliasing. This is how you would add multiple ips to one interface.

Also, I would like to share some info. I have three dedicated servers that unfortunately do not offer anything but RedSplat to their customers. I set these servers up remotely with Gentoo, then modified my grub.conf to load the gentoo install instead of the Redhat. After I did this, I ran across at least 5 HowTo's on the web on how to do the same thing. Not to say you should do this, but I just thought I would run that by you in case you feel creative and want to you what I consider one of the best Distros around. Its the only Distro that made me change from Slackware (I used it for almost 8 years religiously).

Hi,
I think

That does work, but remember one thing. You want to set stuff up correctly for that OS/Distro. This is why i suggested he consult the RH Documentation, because he can add them all he wants, but if he gets in a situation where the server reboots, those changes might get lost unless they are setup correctly for that Distro, where they reload when the server restarts.

Hi,
I agree, you need to be careful to ensure it stays working. It might be worth replacing redhat's network init script to control what goes on entirely.
Hope this helps,
