You don't need to specify the gateway for eth0:0. I also needed to configure devices that had distinct ip address values by default. I had a similar setup until recently when I switched to using ip syntax instead of the 'old way.' Here's a sample of my interfaces file: address 123.456.789.2 netmask 255.255.255.252 gateway 123.456.789.1 up ip addr add 10.1.250.15/24 brd 10.1.250.255 dev eth0 label eth0:0 up ip addr add 10.10.10.15/24 brd 10.10.10.255 dev eth0 label eth0:1 aptitude install iproute man ip See if something like that will work for you.
