Must be pilot error - I brought up a 2.2 system from scratch just
a few days ago and it's now serving about 20 virtual IPs using the
/etc/sysconfig hooks for it.  Works great.  The code in netstart
is only doing this:

        # Check to see if aliases need to be added
        alias=0
        while :
        do
                eval ifconfig_args=\$ifconfig_${ifn}_alias${alias}
                if [ -n "${ifconfig_args}" ]; then
                        ifconfig ${ifn} ${ifconfig_args} alias
                        alias=`expr ${alias} + 1`
                else
                        break;
                fi
        done

No arp anywhere.  Works perfectly for me.
