Aliasing different IP blocks to same NIC

Hello all,

I have two different blocks of IPs that have different gateways and
netmasks and want to alias them all to one NIC. I run RH 8.0 with the
following in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts:

ifcfg-eth0:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=64.71.173.255
IPADDR=64.71.173.98
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=64.71.173.0
ONBOOT=yes

ifcfg-eth0-range1:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=64.71.173.255
GATEWAY=64.71.173.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=64.71.173.0
IPADDR_START=64.71.173.112
IPADDR_END=64.71.173.114
CLONENUM_START=0
ONBOOT=yes

ifcfg-eth0-range2:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=64.71.153.175
GATEWAY=64.71.153.169
NETMASK=255.255.255.248
NETWORK=64.71.153.168
IPADDR_START=64.71.153.170
IPADDR_END=64.171.153.174
CLONENUM_START=3
ONBOOT=yes

Everything in ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth0-range1 comes up and works
fine. However, ifcfg-eth0-range2 does not come up. When I restart
networking all looks good:

# service network restart
Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Setting network parameters: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0-range1: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0-range2: [ OK ]

but an ifconfig shows the range2 never came up:

# ifconfig

Any help anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

I found my typo in the ifcfg-etho-range2 file. Now all the IPs show
up with an ifconfig with no errors but it does not seem like they are
really aliased as I cannot ping them remotely (locally ping works). I
must have missed something - any clues are appreciated:
