Re: ip aliasing, virtual interfaces and incorrect source addresses...
Here is what I'm thinking, route would be setup like so...
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Then when the alias is set up, dose that change the localnet route to point at eth0:0?
I can't reproduce any thing like that on my setup 2.6.0-test9-1-386.
