Thank you for your help. Problem is solved, but I don't know what fixed
it though! Here is what I have done.

1. Just to isolate the issue, removed the shorewall package and
booted the system, still the same (ie no aliases showed up for 
second isp)

2. Replaced all the isp's IPs with private class C, with one alias 
and it showed up along with all others

3. Now replaced the private class C with isp's IP address and just
one alias and that showed up. then put in the remaining and those
showed up as well

4. Added showewall package and still aliases showed up still. Then I
restored the default setting for ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes and the restart
still worked.

Now the system is working as expected, but as I said, I don't know
what was the culprit before and no idea what fixed it.

Thanks to you and all others who responded.
