I don't think that is an issue. My /etc/network/interfaces file
follows. Essentially this machine is my router connecting via eth0 to
the internet (and using dhcp from my ISP to get me an IP address - and
prerunning the firewall as it comes up) on the lan side are a set of
interfaces from a single network card based around eth1. This all
works perfectly and eth1 and eth1:0 have separate ip addresses.
I wonder if the original poster is having problems because he needs to
allow ip forwarding.
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian
installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
#
auto eth0
auto eth1
auto eth1:0
auto eth1:1
auto eth1:2
auto eth1:9
# This is the network card for connecting from the outside (MAC address
registered)
iface eth0 inet dhcp
pre-up /etc/firewall $IFACE
pre-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.0.20
netmask 255.255.255.0
iface eth1:0 inet static
address 192.168.0.30
netmask 255.255.255.0
iface eth1:1 inet static
address 192.168.0.31
netmask 255.255.255.0
iface eth1:2 inet static
address 192.168.0.32
netmask 255.255.255.0
iface eth1:9 inet static
address 192.168.0.39
