I accidently sent the original post before I finished typing.

When I use a config like the last example, networking completely breaks, 
meaning, that even the addresses on eth0 and eth1 that were working before, 
stop working.

I don't want to use the "deprecated" ip alias/ifconfig method, though I will 
if I have to. Please do not bother to explain to me how to use IP aliases, I 
already know how. I'm not interested in using that method right now. I will 
use IP aliases if I cannot find a way to make secondary IPs work, , but 
that's no reason not to try to use secondary IPs :-D

Thanks,

	JW
