                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^
When using aliases, you should give a netmask of all ones (i.e. 0xffffffff).
I didn't install 2.1.5R yet, but this works on almost any O.S. I've tried 
it on (including 2.1.0R). You don't need any static arp entries or 
anything. Just define the alias and it should work.
