Hi,

never had such a strange behavior, although i'm using overlaying privat and 
public ip-adresses with linux and netware machines on some physical networks. 
That looks like eth0:0, eth0:1...  on the linux boxes.

Maybe i could help you, if you'd send me a copy auf your 
/etc/network/interfaces and the output of "ifconfig" (and maybe "route -n" ?) 
with all interfaces up and a second set with all interfaces down.
