If one IP address is dynamic and the other one is static, you can use
the Alternate Configuration, as Malke suggested.
You can assign two static IP addresses to a single NIC. Assign the
first one as usual, then click Advanced, click Add under "IP
addresses", and assign the second one. If the second one requires a
default gateway, be sure to add it below.
