  Yes, it worked, but now I can access to alias ip from localhost only,
  not from network. E.g. ping from neighborhood not worked, 100% lost and
  sometimes I have strange entry in routing tables, similar following:

194.58.131.54	link#1	UHLW	5	280	ep0	723

  194.58.131.54 nested in another ethernet segment and connect throu
  Weelfleet router! I don't understand...

P.S: Thanks you for your answer.
