   Windows (XP, at least, not sure about others) is perfectly happy with   
   multiple IP's on a single NIC. I don't know what the max number is,   
   but I've successfully run 4 IPs, which was all I needed at the time.   
   By default, when configuring multiple IP's on a NIC, one of them   
   cannot be acquired via DHCP, but others have posted a Registry hack   
   that will change that behavior.
