You are right (checked before too) man interfaces doesn't use this
syntax as it seemes but a short google lead me to this http://
www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/IP-Alias.html which uses the syntax.
Still I prefer the the mapping syntax in interfaces since I keep with
debian based distros (if I can) otherwise I try to use the
distribution internal tools and syntax.
anyway posted it from what i remembered, hence the "if i remember
correctly"...
