Have you restarted apache? Does your httpd.conf have a Listen *
directive or does it only listen on explicit ip addresses? If you do a
netstat -at, does it show apache listening on that the interface?
It could also be something in your iptables. E.g. using -i eth1 for your
http rule. If so, you can use the more flexible -i eth+ (or eth1+).
Also, you can codify your alias, using
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1:1
