how many IP aliases

[Anton Alin-Adrian]

Hi guys.

Can anyone tell me what is the limit for how many IP aliases can be setup 
on the same ethernet card?

Is there a global limit for the total number of aliases in the OS?

To be clear: one needs 128 IPs (for irc vhosts) to be setup on one server. 
Is that impossible?

Thanks!

Yours sincerely,
