Hi,
A little off-topic, but...
you don't have to enable ip alias. you can simply use
(1) ifconfig or (2) iproute2 tool.
iproute2's ip command is more convenient.
464 # ip link set dev $DEV up
465 # ip addr add dev $DEV w.x.y.z/24
466 # ip addr add dev $DEV p.q.r.s/16
467 # ip route add $DESTINATION via $GATEWAY src p.q.r.s
