Multiple IP addresses for a single ethernet card?



Hello:

I am sure this is a straightforward question, but I cant figure it
out:

Is there a way to have multiple IP numbers assigned to a single 
ethernet card?  My ISP just changed my static IP number and I need
to transition to the new one.  In the meantime, I want to respond
to both IP numbers.

I tried doing this in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts:

DEVICE=eth0
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=216.87.138.87
NETWORK=216.87.138.84
NETMASK=255.255.255.252
IPADDR=216.87.138.86 
IPADDR=208.249.195.86

But, it still only responds to 208.249.195.86 and not the other one.
I am using RH 6.0

Thanks,
	Neil.
