Yep, but is that really a problem? There's no built in-way to add IPv4
addresses afaik, in IPv6 the sub-int addresses will be stacked on 
the primary one though. So you'd have to hack in a command to add it,
be aware that this will seriously complicate default source-address
selection though, which can be a pain.
