I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, but are you really running a
full Class A on one segment? That seems, well, illogical to me :) We
use 10.x.x.x private IP space all the time, but never with a mask
shorter than 255.255.252.0.
I usually just edit /etc/init.d/network if I want interface changes, or
have that file source or call the script that has the changes. I don't
know if editing /etc/init.d/network is evil or not; I don't think it is
:) That way, the script is called at the appropriate time; the rc.d
links are already there for you.
I assume you got a kernel with IP Aliasing linked in or compiled as a
module.
