I had a similar issue were only the primary IP would ping and none of the alias
IP’s would respond.
Work Around:
I changed the primary IP to one of the alias IPs and cleared out the other
alias. Each IP had to be added as the primary by itself first to create the
rules.
After adding them using the above method, I was able to add them all to the Red
interface so that they all responded to ping and port forwarding rules.
I changed the hardware including Motherboard and network cards and the problem
went away so I’m thinking that it’s a driver issue, but I didn’t bother to
isolate it further.

With a VM, you can create as many interfaces as you like. Being virtual, you
have a certain amount of flexibility.
You could create several red interfaces which could all attach to one (real)
physical nic, or they could attach to multiple physical nics, as your
networking requires.
In qemu-kvm, this is done by creating a bridge to each physical nic. The
virtual nics are then created attached to the bridge. You can share the
physical nic with as many virtual nics as makes sense.
There would be no driver issues within EFW, since you decide which type of
virtual nic to install in the VM. (Realtek, Intel, virtio, etc)
So the issue becomes how many red interfaces (or any colored zones) EFW can
support.
