 I thought aliases on the same subnet should have a subnet mask of 
255.255.255.255

 You've already established 63.106.140.203 so the alias that follows 
should use 255.255.255.255

 That's my understanding anyway.

 At the command prompt, you'll have to use ifconfig to remove the alias 
then re-add it, I don't think I'd be re-excuting /etc/netstart to do this.
