		Is there a good explanation why in a Debian VE (may be other distro's too?) a venet0 and venet0:0 present? Or is it just that this is more easily created by the script if there are more than one IP-addresses needed? 
 
I have created a simpler script which adds just a venet0 if there is need for one IP-address and a venet0:1 and so further if more than one is needed. It seems to work exactly the same, only the ifconfig output and /etc/network/interfaces in the VE just looks nicer and to mee also more logical. 
 
I have attached the new debian-add_ip.sh for who is interested...
