I don't see any mention of the aliased device working when the DHCP
one does - only that they share the same NIC, which I knew already.

Maybe I wasn't clear...

I have an alias (the server only has 1 NIC) with a static address -
the network link/physical layer is prone to going AWOL, I want that
alias to return as soon as OSI lower layers do, currently that isn't
the case - I don't believe that onboot has any impact either unless
anybody can point me at documentation otherwise.

So it looks like a cronjob or maybe heartbeat to ensure that the
static ip is always available.

*sigh*
