Just 'ip addr add dev eth0 192.168.1.1/24'.
Thanks ... I'll have to investigate how this survives the DHCP client
as my point to using aliases in the past was to ensure that I had a
static IP that I can reach from the outside via port forwarded ssh
through a router that seems to mysteriously change internal IP
assignments when it uses DHCP.
