new ip-alias in 1.3.59

I just starting playing with the alias support in 1.3.59.. I figured out
that you do ifconfig eth0:1 a.b.c.d to setup the device, but the problem
is.. I do that (with the right netmask and broadcast commands) and when I
try a telnet to the address assigned to the alias I get a timeout... do I
have to put a static route in or an arp entry or something? (I dont think
the arp is neccesary since it seems to proxy arp off the real eth0)... can
anybody help?

thanks in advance!
