Can not add route entry for subinterface

[dlazzar]

Hi all

Today I've tryed to set this configuration to my /etc/conf.d/net files:

config_eth0=( "192.168.0.101 netmask 255.255.252.0 brd 192.168.3.255"
"192.168.0.30 netmask 255.255.252.0 brd 192.168.3.255"
)
routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.0.251"
=====> "-net 10.4.0.0/16 via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0:1"<================
"-net 172.18.1.0/24 via 192.168.0.1"
)
But the second route "-net 10.4.0.0/16 via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0:1" doesn't work.
I try to fix the problem looking at /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/ifconfig line 280:

ebegin "${x}"
# Support adding IPv6 addresses easily
======> if [[ ${x} == *:* && ${x} != *'-A inet6'* ]]; then
/sbin/route add -A inet6 ${x} &>${devnull}
else
/sbin/route add ${x} &>${devnull}
fi

Like I can understand this check if is there an IPV6 route without "-A int6" parameters, but in this way any route witch use an subinterface, like "eth0:1" is interpreted like an IPV6 route, I change that line in this way is that correct?
(adding a second ":" after "*:*" )

======> if [[ ${x} == *:*: && ${x} != *'-A inet6'* ]]; then

But the main question is, what happen when baselayout will be updated?
Thanks in advance
David

dlazzar,

Welcome to gentoo.

eth0:1 is not a real interface, for routing, use eth0 in your
