Hi Steve,

The answer is really simple - yes and no ;) - Iptables can certainly
understand single IP's - so if ethX:X has a static IP, you could just
use that instead of the interface name.

However, if the interface doesn't have a static IP and you try to use
the ethx:x syntax, you will get:

Warning: weird character in interface `ethX:X' (No aliases, :, ! or *).

Kind Regards,
