My personal experience is to setup static IP for those FTP, HTTP and similar
machines. I setup a DNS zone, forward and reverse, and included each machine
in the internal network. I also have my home workstation as static b/c I VNC
to it regularly. I do use DHCP for my laptop and in case a buddy comes over
and wants to plug in (or be wireless). You could use the cable/dsl router's
DHCP and configure for your network, but I chose to use Linux's DHCP server.
As for the multiple IP on same ethernet card... I kinda sorta started covering
that in an iptables doc that I never finished writing... but I believe it is
the same principle applied to eth0 and should help get you started.
