How do I run multiple IP address on my linux server?

I just picked up a Dual Xeon server I plan on running linux and cpanel on. I want to run 5 separate IP address which is what my cable modem supports. How do I run 5 IPs on one network card? How do I make them appear on WHM and Cpanel?How do I run multiple IP address on my linux server?
Linux is great for that, you just add the IP's to the Nic setup!

Don't know what version of linux you have but usually you can run the network scripts to add the IP's. (As long as they are all in the same class range / subnet you are golden.)

Here is a good article with step by step.

I don't run Cpanel anymore (tried it once) but you should be able to do it from there as well.

All these do is tell the card to accept traffic for the IP's you enter. All the rest is handled by apache, ftp etc.
