In alias files:
 * BOOTPROTO isn't used, since you can't run dhclient on an alias interface
 * GATEWAY is disregarded if it is already set
 * DNS* aren't used at all

...and in no case do you really need to specify all of BROADCAST, NETWORK, and NETMASK. The latter, alone, is sufficient.

See /usr/share/doc/initscripts*/sysconfig.txt and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases for more information.

Since not all of them were mentioned in this thread, there are at least three ways to specify additional IPv4 addresses. First, use IPADDRn and either PREFIXn or NETMASKn in ifcfg-dev (documented in sysconfig.txt). Second, use alias files such as ifcfg-dev:alias (documented in sysconfig.txt). Third, use range files such as ifcfg-dev-range0 to specify all of the addresses from a START to an END address (documented in ifup-aliases).

why can't I add this to the virtual device eth0:1,
if I needed both an additional IPv4 and an additional IPv6 address?
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=ipv6addr
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
IPV6_DEFAULTGW=ipv6addr-gateway
IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=eth0:1

Mostly because device aliases are obsolete:
