ethernet aliasing

cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0

then edit ifcfg-eth0:0 and change all its references from eth0 to
eth0:0 and change its IP to the IP you want to use.

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup eth0:0

Don't know for a fact that it would work in the case of ipmasq- but I
don't see why it wouldn't, either.
