I use this in /etc/network/interfaces:

iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.124.34
        network 192.168.124.0
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.124.255
        up /sbin/ifup --force eth0:1
        down /sbin/ifdown --force eth0:1

iface eth0:1 inet static
        address 192.168.124.100
        network 192.168.124.0
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.124.255

It may not be perfect - I'm not convinced about the --force above, but
it seemed to be necessary to stop ifup/ifdown getting confused about
which interfaces had been configured in certain situations.
