secondary ip address

We are in the process of re-addressing our internal network addressing from a 10.x.x.x scheme to a 192.168.100.x scheme. The first step is to dual home all of our network servers. How is this best accomplished in RedHat Linux version 5.2 and 6.1? Should I use linuxconf? If so, which parameters need to be changed? Thanks in advance for any help.

You'll have to add routes for specific traffic flows of course.
I would just add an additional ifup script for these machines that brings up the aliased interfaces, then change the interface configuration permanently when the transition is over.
With older kernels like RH 5.2(2.0?), you may not have aliasing enabled as it is usually in the newer kernels. This will mean a recompile.
