2.0.x differed in this behavior in that it routed to eth0:0. Hmm, wish this
was documented in networking/alias.txt :)

Ahh, but it does.. Gated goes through and adds routes like this:

1.2.3.4 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
eth0

when the kernel added a route like this:

1.2.3.4 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
eth0

This may just be a gated mishap tho.

Plus, gated spits out tons of errors about the operation not being supported
and what not.

At least I got 1 :)

Wait, this is supposed to happen? May I ask why I need 3 network routes for
127.0.0.0? :)
