My system died and perl libraries have been corrupted.
/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Defoma/IdCache.pm has too many errors.

You will need to use eth1 as the interface with the alias. otherwise it
won't work at all. Otherwise it will try and send the packets out the eth0
interface back onto your local lan.
