I have a Centos 5.6 VM (vSphere client) already responding to two different public IPs on eth0 and eth0:1 and I'm trying to add eth0:2. I copied the eth0 config file and restarted the network service. I don't understand which other steps are needed.

ifconfig:

    Your IP is configured according to ifconfig output, what exactly is your problem?

This shows that it is already configured correctly.

Server not found is usually how you would phrase a DNS error, not a connectivity error.

One thing you may need to do when you add additional IPs is restart daemons you expect to be listening on those IPs, so they bind to them.
