I've always put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d/network myself. Then just do a
series of ifconfig's to bring up the virtual IP's, and then a series of
route commands to add the routes, and voila, instant ip_aliasing.
As for how to get it to autoload... well, I've always done it as part of
the kernel, but that's just the way I tend to build the kernels. :)
