+in fact, if we want it to be even simpler, you could add the ip address
+without a alias interface wit iproute2
+
+[]# ip addr show eth0
+[]# ip addr add www.xxx.yyy.zzz/netmask dev eth0
+
+this will add an ip address on that interface, and
+
+[]# ip route
+
+if you're done:
+
+[]# ip addr del www.xxx.yyy.zzz/netmask dev eth0
+
+should now show you a route into that different subnet
+
+this means, no mess with alias interfaces or separate settings, or anything.
+
+to be sure, restart shorewall service (in the event it filters on the
+interface ip addresses)
