    shouldnt that be 127.0.0.1 ?? ( 1 instead of 0 ) ..

    hey.. weven i tried to do the same thig.. but it was not working.. iwalso got the same error. i am using red hat linux enterprise...
    but then i changed my technique.. i decide to create Ip aliases using a more general approach..

    go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
    create "ifcfg-eth0-range0" with the following contents

    IPADDR_START=172.28.12.100
    IPADDR_END=172.28.12.120
    CLONENUM_START=0


    creates ip aliases in the specified range... i thought this to be a better way of creating ip aliases. this way i can avoid having to set the route for the new aliases

    Edit /etc/network/interfaces and create your alias' there and then restart the network daemon.
