Per Port Addressing question

I have a customer that is currently dialing up and gets the same
IP address each time (allowing for them to host their own web server,
email server, etc - all on one Windows NT machine) and it has been working
fine.

They have, however, now inquired about adding a second Domain Name
and wish it to be on that same NT machine across the same dial-up
connection, which will of course require registering the Domain with the
InterNic which (to my knowledge) requires a unique IP address.

I understand the concerns that will arise, undoubtedly, from
some of you about serving 2 sites across a async dial-up, I have raised
those concerns as well to no avail, but that is not my question.

My question pertains to attempting to address a single port with 2
specific IP addresses. I would expect this to be done in Radius (as the
single is) and I know it is possible to assign an entire subnet or full
class address in this manner, but can you assign two individual IP
addresses in this way. BTW - they would be within the same subnetted
Class C address (eg. aaa.bbb.ccc.100 and aaa.bbb.ccc.101 with a
netmask of 255.255.255.0) so I'm not concerned about any subnetted routing
issues.

Is anyone currently doing this? If not, does anyone see a
specific reason that the LV or Radius would not do this?

Additional Info
===============

I'm using a PM2ER-30 running 3.2.2 code. All 30 ports are the
standard async ports.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks,
Timothy
