I don't know much about aliases and such but I did want to make sure I ran my rc.ipchains script at the appropriate time. Some diggging through the startup scripts yeilded the fact that /sbin/ifup-local, if it exists, is called each time an interface is brought up so I wrote a script that tests for the interface name and if it is the outgoing interface I call the script. here it is: #/sbin/ifup-local if [ "$1" = "eth1" ] ; then exec /etc/rc.d/rc.ipchains fi At least I think it does wha I want if some of you gurus see something dumb, let me know but it definetly brings up the interface. You should be able to test for eth0 instead and run the alias scripts in the if block.
