Most residential DSL providers use a bridge as opposed to an actual DSL
router. For instance Covad gives one static IP and a bridge for their 384
or 768k DSL residential service. All the business grade stuff uses a
router.
To answer your second question, Yes. It is called IP aliasing. It needs
to me activated in the kernel. If it is running you can do things like
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.x ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.x and so one.
