Interface aliases are evil from my point of view. I recommend to
configure the ip directly to the interface.

#ifcfg-eth2
[...]
IPADDR=192.168.200.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR2=192.168.201.1
NETMASK2=255.255.255.192

ip addr show dev eth2
4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 08:00:27:b0:c5:7c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.200.1/24 brd 192.168.200.255 scope global eth2
    inet 192.168.201.1/26 brd 192.168.201.63 scope global eth2
    inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:feb0:c57c/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
