To manually add IPs in Gentoo, you must ssh as root and edit the following file:
/etc/conf.d/net
Here is what it should contain (assuming eth0 is your main interface):
config_eth0=(
"mainIP1 brd 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.224"
"mainIP2 brd 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.224"
"mainIP3 brd 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.224"
)
routes_eth0=( "default gw 10.10.10.9" )
You will have to replace 'mainIP' with your actual IPs and put in the correct broadcast, netmask and gateway IPs.
After this is done, save the file and reload the network interface.

I recently switched to AYK Solutions from Softlayer for my dedicated server requirements. I received a much better specification server at significantly reduced cost from what Softlayer could offer me, with many of the previously 'extra' features at Softlayer included in the base price offered by AYK. The support was second to none, and they were extremely helpful in transferring all of my old server accounts over for no additional fee whatsoever.
AYK provide a very good value product, and always in a professional manner. I have used several hosting companies over the past 17 years. During that time I occasionally needed help with a variety of minor setup issues. Only AYK gave quick and helpful answers. I highly recommend them.
