How about writing a script to do that repetitive task?

Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] Multiple Address question

I know that I can configure 128 IP Addresses using 
eth0:1 = x.x.x.1
eth0:2 = x.x.x.2
eth0:3 = x.x.x.3
eth0:4 = x.x.x.4
eth0:5 = x.x.x.5
.
.
.
eth0:128 = x.x.x.128

   Does anyone know if the 2.4.x kernel supports something like: eth0:1
= x.x.x.1/255.255.255.128 instead of defining 128 virtual interfaces? 

I know that you could used to configure the system with something 
like eth0:0 = x.x.x.0/16 but it would go out and set up 128 virtual 
things anyway... 

Right now.. I've got 172 ( or so ) virtual devices and I'm about to 
add 64 more... Thought I'd see if there was a better way.... I know that
there is a limit some where....
