The first address assigned to a nic becomes the primary (only). Additional addresses become 'secondary'. With the default set-up, then if you take down the primary, all addresses go down. There is a flag in /proc, I forget where, that can be set to change the above behavior. With the flag set - then when you take down the (current) primary address, one of the secondary addresses becomes primary. This has been on the mailing list before, should be findable.
