Description of problem:
When building a redundant router router we required that we have static router that are associated to an alias rather than the bare interface.

The reason for this is we have eth0 without an ip, but also eth0.123 and also eth0:1

Currenly if you try and add route-eth0:1 then ifup-routes will read the file but will try and pass the route command with the device as eth0:1 rather than eth0
We can't put the routes in route-eth0 as then it will complain that the network is unreachable as there aren't any ip addresses bound at the time eth0 is started



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.93.20.EL-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create eth0:1
2. create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0:1
3. ifup eth0:1
  

Actual Results:  no routes added

Expected Results:  routes added
