That was only an example.  The important thing is that the netmask needs
to be 255.255.255.252 which gives you only 4 IP address on that
interface and of these only 2 are usable as the others are the network
address and the broadcast address.

You could have...
IPADDR=141.161.111.242  for eth0
IPADDR=141.161.111.241  for 141.161.185.38 interface
Broadcast=141.161.111.243
Network=141.161.111.240
