2 DHCP IP's -> 1 Ethernet Device
I am trying to bind 2 dhcp addresses to 1 ethernet interface. I know this is doable, but im not having any luck finding info on how to make it happen. Can anyone assist? Thanks.

I need 2 seperate IP addresses, and DHCP is my only option for assignment. The OS im using is Fedora Core 6
What is the DHCP server running on?

To my knowledge, the DHCP server is on a redhat box.
Usually, when you do multihoming, it's a static setup... It's not often that a single physical interface is multihomed yet you want the addresses to be dynamic.
Can you describe the physical relationship between the two networks you want to bind to the same NIC? That might help us figure out where to look...

DHCP is designed to make WORKSTATION network configuration easier. 99.x% of workstations usually only ever require a single IP. Servers are a different matter, and are usually configured statically, for many reasons, but mainly because they don't want to be relying on other servers, plus they may have complex configurations, like multiple bindings.
Perhaps you could resolve your problem by using dns cnames (aliases)?
