Hello,

There is a big difference between ifconfig_IF_aliasN which is v4
only and requires a line for each IP, and must be continous,
meaning that _alias1, _alias2, _alias4 wont work - and the new
fancy ifconfig_IF_aliases which accepts both address families
and also ranges and stuff.

I was asking about the new _aliases form.

Thanks!
