This is my /etc/network/interface

# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian
installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
# automatically added when upgrading
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.209
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.1.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        

auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
        address 192.168.0.209
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.0.0
        broadcast 192.168.0.255
#       gateway 192.168.0.1


Hope this helps.
