eth1 is the second physical interface (which you don't have). From
/usr/share/doc/openrc-0.8.3-r1/net.example.bz2

# If you need more than one address, you can use something like this
# NOTE: ifconfig creates an aliased device for each extra IPv4 address
#       (eth0:1, eth0:2, etc)
#       iproute2 does not do this as there is no need to
config_eth0="192.168.0.2/24 192.168.0.3/24 192.168.0.4/24"
# However, that only works with CIDR addresses, so you can't use
# netmask.
