How can I have multiple virtual IPs address on the server?

Hi,

We have an application which emulates many terminals and we also need to connect it to an old server which provides a few services. That old server has some kind of key/value table which are used to associate each terminal Id to an IP address. By doing that it can deny access to any other terminal which comes from the same IP and have a different terminal Id. So as we need to have multiple terminals running on one machine (with GF on either Linux or Win Server), how can we cheat the old server so that it will think any terminal has its own IP address?

Is there any thing that can be done only with software? If so, is it reliable?

Cheers
