Bug Description

Binary package hint: sysvinit

SO heres my /etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo
auto eth0
auto eth0:0
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

iface eth0 inet static
address 10.6.100.26
netmask 255.255.254.0
gateway 10.6.100.1

iface eth0:0 inet static
address 172.19.1.26
netmask 255.248.0.0

and my resolv.conf just contains two nameserver entries.

Whenever my ISP's network is down (and this happens a lot many times), edgy (and dapper before it) has a problem with the the /etc/init.d/networking script which takes about a minute to stop and doesn't display FAILED status,

P.S. This is an install of Edgy itself not an upgrade from Dapper. BTW the problem is on Dapper too.
