IP Aliasing with the 2.4.13 kernel

I am trying to do some virtual hosting with Apache on Red Hat and I can't seem to get it set up. I have read that I have to use IP aliasing and load the ip_alias module. I have read though that this is only in 2.2.x kernels.



<< (IP Alias has been deprecated in 2.4.x and replaced by a more powerful firewalling mechanism.) >>



Any clues or HOWTOs that you know of for the 2.4.x kernel?
 
How is the virtual hosting setup already? do you just have several domain names pointing to one IP or do you have to have multiple IPs point to one box?

If you have multiple domains pointing to one IP, read up on Apache vhosts which don't need any IP aliasing in the kernel.
 
I am just now looking into virtual hosting so I don't know how it is set up just yet. I am still looking for some HOWTOs. I have found alot of information about the 2.2.x kernel with virtual hosting, but nothing with the 2.4.x kernel. Can someone point me towards a good HOWTO to set it up with my 2.4.7 kernel in Red Hat?
 
If it's only via hostname you don't have to worry about the kernel version, Apache does all the work. If you need multiple IPs assigned to a single NIC, then you need IP aliasing.
