Problem with multi-aliases network interfaces

[Samuel Díaz García]

Is the same case Bruno?

A wifi iface and ethernet iface with many alises?
Or is more generic case?

The question is because I have many servers now with FC5 with 
multi-aliases ethernet ifaces and have no problem (at least this problem).

Anyone could confirm this problem and the workaround provided by Bruno?
