The easistes thing would be to have 2 network cards. One for the LB net and one for adminsitration. Another option is to filter incoming ARP requests and out going responses with the MAC iptables module. I thought that turning off arp on an interface does this for all aliases, too. What kind of alias are you using ? eth0:1 or ifconfig add?
