Have you tried the dummy net driver? It might suit your needs. Configure
your kernel with "Dummy net driver support", CONFIG_DUMMY (wonder
whether this is mentioned in the book Linux for Dummies) and see the
help text for that option.
Build a kernel with network & IP aliasing, then go:
ifconfig lo:0 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0
(changing values to suit..)
I'm not even sure of what use the dummy driver is with the latest kernels. I
suppose someone must have a sue for this... I guess for pinning routes to
it?
