But that still doesn't solve the problem: Having eth0:0 allows to add
a special routing entry for that virtual device, just adding a second
IP to eth0 does not. So this doesn't really help.

They don't do here:
galois home/fst# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0A:5E:02:9B:39

There is no problem calling "ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.141.30 up" to
set up a virtual device. I just wonder why it is not possible to define
a virtual device via an ifcfg-file so that /etc/init.d/network will
set such a device up.
