The thing with the IP_ALIAS I don't know exactly and have to read first.
But why do you want to set the routes after all interfaces and then
setup the routes ?
BTW: Since this config will probably be kernel-2.2.x-only, I will probably
really setup the routes *after* the ifconfig's.

/etc/gateways is used by the routed daemon. But this is no problem, since
I will not setup routes, if routed runs and since I use the same format as
routed, everything will be fine.
Of course I have to read some more about /etc/gateways, but others, too
have stated that there will be no problem when defining all gateways there.

I thought there was a DOS or a similar bug related to it... but this
is at the moment gone out of my interest :-)
