On one of my existing servers (installed by someone else before my
time), there are interfaces eth0, and also eth0:1   - the latter is not
defined as an alias.
I created an alias on the new server I am working on, but then it
doesn't show in the ifconfig output.  So on the old server it was set up
as something differently.  I just cannot figure out how yet. - must be
ip, or ifconfig, but I still have to find a way to make it permanent
(other than using the startup scripts - I always try to do it another
way first, before adding something to the startup scripts, which I see
as a work around in this case).
