What you need to do is to add an alias to the interface, in order to do that, do the following. First go to the file /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 and add the following lines:

DEVICE=eth0:1
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR= xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
NETMASK=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
NETWORK=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
BROADCAST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
PEERDNS=no
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx put the apropriate addresses for your computer. After doing so go to the directory /etc/rc.d/init.d and type ./network stop; ./network start. That will initiate the new configurations. You can add as many IP addresses as you want by just doing the procedures above and changing the DEVICE:eth0:x from 1 to 2,3,... etc. and also by changing the IP address.
