If you have control over the client side ISP router, it's better to run
a VLAN trunk between the ISP router and your device. Put the
MPLS subnet on one VLAN interface, and internet on the other
VLAN interface.

You'll end up having 2 VLAN interfaces on your appliance which
you can configure independently as if they were individual NICs.

Problem with IP aliasing is that there is no isolation at L2 between the
MPLS and the internet.  There is the possibility of a data leak between
internet and MPLS.
