I came accross this problem only yesterday! The problem is that with IP aliases under 3.3 the arps are not setup right when the interface is configured. So, you have to put associate the ethernet card's hardware address (mac address) to the IP number of the alias.. if the alias IP is 203.1.2.3, and it's hardware address is 00:80:5f:84:5d:63, do the following... arp -s 203.1.2.3 00:80:5f:84:5d:63 then you will be able to ping 203.1.2.3. Now, my question then becomes, what is the best way to fix this on startup, so that all services come up normally that rely on this ip address... is it a bug in 3.3 perhaps that it doesn't happen automatically?
