Why do you want to give the machine 256 ips? It's pointless unless you do
webhosting, and there are better ways of doing that eg with apache's
<VirtualHost> setup.
The script you've shown should work, but a quicker way to do it would be:
for ip in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...
do
ifconfig eth0:$ip xxx.xxx.xxx.$ip netmask 255.255.255.0
done
you do not need the route add -net after each eth0 alias.
