Now it's odd to have multiple interfaces on the same subnet, but that's an

In this case it was a case of transitioning a new host to replace an old
one. The new one was brought in and given the 2nd address, tested, then
assigned the first address, then the 2nd address was supposed be
decommissioned. Except another admin decided he liked to keep it. ;)
It's also useful if you need more than one SSL-capable virtual host on the
same box, since the certificate follows the address.
(The "eth1:1" name is typical Linux syntax for an alias of interface eth1,
with a different IP address. There's only one physical adapter here.)
