Hi,

I am using like that in /etc/conf.d/net
-----
config_eth0=( "ip1 netmask 255.255.255.224"
               "ip2 netmask 255.255.255.255"
               "ip3 netmask 255.255.255.255"
)

routes_eth0=( "default via your_gw" )
-----

ifconfig doesn't show this info. I use ip command for that:

# ip addr

I hope it helps.
