binding sub-interfaces in Linux

[Chris <list.traffic () frys com>]

Hello,

I am configuring a network with a live honeypot attached to the network.   
I am going through a virtual router in honeyd and the subnet is not the  
same as the address on the honeyd host machine.  When I bind the address  
to eth0 and try to connect to the external host honeyd dies.  I assume  
because it can't find a route to the external host.  I added a  
sub-interface to my honeyd host and added the bind 10.1.1.53 to eth0:1  
statement to the honeyd.conf file it won't start.  Is this not a supported  
option?  Or is there a better way to handle this situation.  Also when  
configuring a route in honeyd is there a way to define a address on the  
other side of the virtual router for a default return route on my external  
host?

Thanks for your help.
