I actually prefer to use "ip addr add" as good practice for the reason that it makes rules alot easier to write so you don't have to worry about eth0:0 or was that eth0:1 ..etc..etc.. just eth0 with 2 IPs hanging off it.
This is the real way to bind multiple addresses to a NIC.. ie.
#ip addr show dev eth1
4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100
link/ether 52:54:05:e3:08:9a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.2.1.1/30 brd 10.2.1.3 scope global eth1
inet 203.111.79.114/28 scope global eth1
Thanks,

Subject: Re: problem with proxy-arp
At router B, try this (instead of using the arp command)
ifconfig eth1:10 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
The idea is to create an alias interface (I'm using 10 but you can use any)
at interface eth1 of router B.
