Hello,

ifup-aliases sets up new default routes for each configured 
[eth tested] interface. It uses GATEWAY from /etc/sysconfig/network
for that.
Seems to the author of this script just copied stuff from ifup to
ifup-aliases
Removing all default gateway stuff from ifup-aliases fixes this.
Who needs default gw's on each if-alias anyway?

This was fixed in an initscripts release at some point between
6.2 and 7.0.
