CentOS - Sep 2010 - ip aliasing on bonded interface possible?

Has anyone successfully created a bonded interface (bond0) with say
two nics AND also then aliased that interface to get bond0 and bond0:1
(for an alias ip)

I just want to know if it's possible and reliable

Thanks

Oh I forgot to mention I would be using link aggregation mode 4,
802.3ad bonding.

Possible and seems to be quite stable. Heartbeat does exactly this for 
the shared IP and we haven't had any problems whatsoever since we set it
up.

Yes to both. I have been doing this for about four years now on various 
versions of CentOS. The one thing you need to watch out for is the same as 
when not using aliases - that eth0 (etc) always comes up as eth0, and 
doesn't get renumbered. Solve this with HWADDR lines in ifcfg-eth0 (etc). 
Otherwise it is solid.
