I am not aware to anything re question 1, although can put NIC cards on
every free PCI/EISA slot.
As for 2, yes. You can use IP aliasing (look at ifconfig man page,
specifically the -alias option) to have multiple IP addresses on a single
NIC card. I've done this with 3 or 4 addresses per NIC card, I assume there
is a limit somewhere (prob about 8 or so).
