The problem with auto eth0:0 is that last time I did this and I ran a
networking restart I completely shut down my server from external
access. I had to get the datacenter to remove the auto and then I
could get back into my machine.

Below is the full setup I have for /etc/network/interfaces

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
 address 70.87.206.50
 gateway 70.87.206.49
 netmask 255.255.255.248
iface eth0:0 inet static
 address 70.87.206.51
 gateway 70.87.206.49
 netmask 255.255.255.248

Does this help in any way?
