Setting up loopback alias on real server running SuSE

Hi all,

I have set up an Ultra Monkey test system using two PCs running Debian Sarge, 
based on the "Streamline and High Availability" sample configuration.  This 
seems to work fine so far.

I now want to add another machine into the cluster as an additional real 
server.  This machine is running SuSE 9.2.  My problem is that I am having 
trouble working out how to configure the loopback alias under that operating 
system (I'm pretty new to network configurations -- this is a great learning 
process).  

The network configuration under SuSE appears to work differently to either the 
Red Hat or Debian examples given in the UM documentation, though it is 
similar to the Red Hat version (ifcfg-* files).  I have tried writing an 
ifcfg-lo:0 file, but on running ifup I get the error "Interface lo:0 is not 
available".

I've been Googling for help, but have not found information to work out what I 
am doing wrong.  If there is such a thing, could someone please point me at 
documentation that might help me understand what I am doing a little better?

Thanks,
Rob
