The only thing I can think of is that you are trying to bind static routes
to interface aliases, and not the actual interface device. Try and change
your "eth1:0" to "eth1" and see if that works. Normally what I tend to do
is to call my own script with static routes from rc.local right at the end
of the boot cycle. Not a really neat solution, but it's a cross-distro
technique.
