OK, I think I've figured it out. The startup system is using iproute2
instead of ifconfig. The manual says that ifconfig is the default,
and I don't see anywhere where I've overridden it, but the manual also
says that if I were using ifconfig I'd have an eth1:1 device.
Iproute2 knows how to assign multiple IP address to an interface
without creating multiple devices, and using the "ip" command shows
the second address:
$ /sbin/ip address show
[...]
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
link/ether 00:16:17:84:a7:b3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.0.0.1/8 brd 10.255.255.255 scope global eth1
inet 192.168.250.1/24 brd 192.168.250.255 scope global eth1
[...]
Still haven't figured out where iproute2 is getting enabled instead of
the default ifconfig....
