You should let us know what you're trying to achieve with this. Every time I have seen config like this, it has been because of fundamental misunderstandings of networking. More that one IP address on a subnet (unless there are VIPs) = fail.

Remember routing occurs at layer 3, and for most configs should have no reference physical interface. The OS knows which interface the next hop can be found. In your config you've set the same route three times which makes no sense.

(ok i've oversimplified, but for 99.9% of cases the above is true)

I have this on Debian in /etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 82.xxx.148.194
netmask 255.255.255.128
gateway 82.xxx.148.131
auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 82.xxx.148.195
netmask 255.255.255.128
auto eth0:2
iface eth0:2 inet static
address 82.xxx.148.196
netmask 255.255.255.128
auto eth0:3
iface eth0:3 inet static
address 82.xxx.148.197
netmask 255.255.255.128
 

What I want to know is what is equivalent for this on Gentoo.  Let's just say this is VPS server with 4 IP's assigned to me as customer
