It is equally (more?) likely I missed a step in configuration as it is there is a bug, and I am facing a topic that seems to be very little published. Admittedly I have not read the appropriate RFCs. Please appreciate my use of the alias feature is based on verbal (plus email) exchange with a network pro using the same feature on another linux variety without error in his install - and he is stumped. My real problem is lack of reading material to check the details of my configuration. So yes I hesitate to call this error a bug until I can read this material - and it seems as though the admin doc is the place I *should* find it?

After that I'll pull together what I can and suggest added material for the admin guide you point out.
