I can also confirm that this is the case on AMD64 for Gutsy. This bug (or it's like) has been around since Feisty. It's pretty annoying because I run a computer at home with one ip address for my internal clients to access my site from and one for my external clients. If for some reason the network goes down, I have to remember to manually bring up eth0:0 otherwise my site is unaccessible for my external clients.
