thanks for your answer! Now I can guess, what's going on. We are running
two ip subnets within one ethernet VLAN: an internal, administrative subnet
which is not routed, and a routed subnet for public services. The ip address
of the master is in the administrative subnet, the vservers have public ip
addresses. Obviously the first vserver in the public ip subnet does not get
a secondary alias interface and all other vserver interfaces get down when
that specific first vserver is stopped.

So the problem cooks down to figure out how to make all vserver interfaces
secondary. I've to admit that I don't exactly know what's a "secondary"
alias interface (linux/Documentation/networking/alias.txt doesn't mention it
and ifconfig doesn't show that flag). Do you know some source of information
apart from the kernel source?

Thanks for your help!
Thomas
