netcfg and alias addresses

Does netcfg support management of aliased IP addresses?

I have the following config:

fukawi2@platypus ~  $ cat /etc/network.d/LAN 
CONNECTION="ethernet"
INTERFACE=eth0:1
IP="static"
IFOPTS="192.168.yyy.xxx netmask 255.255.128.0 broadcast 192.168.255.255"

And it doesn't barf at it:

fukawi2@platypus ~  $ sudo netcfg LAN
 > LAN already connected

But it doesn't actually create the alias, only my NET address is on eth0:

fukawi2@platypus ~  $ ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr FE:FD:4B:7F:60:BD  
          inet addr:75.127.96.189  Bcast:75.127.96.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::fcfd:4bff:fe7f:60bd/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
