AFAIR aliased ip's should be bound as single IP "inet 64.110.74.50
netmask 255.255.255.255". IP aliasing is to have multiple IPs bound to
one network board.

Using it the way you do, both nets will be connected to the very same
wire. Makes little sense to me. Why not break up both nets and put two
network boards into the box?
