Use two different IPs on a single web server
Linux tips and notes.
see "two ip one vps":
1 auto ens3 2 iface ens3 inet dhcp 3 4 auto ens3:0 5 iface ens3:0 inet static 6 address <ip#1> 7 netmask 255.255.255.255 8 9 auto ens3:1 10 iface ens3:1 inet static 11 address <ip#2> 12 netmask 255.255.255.255
Will say "failed to raise interface", but ip addr shows it works fine

Configure a failover IP with Debian Configuring the network interface
For example purposes, we’re using the following variables:
Network interface = ens3
Failover IP address = your_ip_address
IP alias = 1
First, connect to your instance via the command line and open up your the network configuration file.
# nano /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg
Next, edit the file with the configuration shown below. This will prevent changes from being made to your network configuration automatically.
# network: {config: disabled}
Next, open the network configuration file for editing with the following command:
# nano /etc/network/interfaces.d/50-cloud-init.cfg
Then edit the file with the following configuration:
auto ens3 iface ens3 inet dhcp
auto ens3:0 iface ens3:0 inet static address your_ip_address 0 netmask 255.255.255.255
auto ens3:1 iface ens3:1 inet static address your_ip_address 1 netmask 255.255.255.255
Restarting the network service
Finally, restart the network service with the following command:
service networking restart
