If I understand correctly, an alias is currently created by linking a subnet:

https://git.launchpad.net/maas/tree/src/maasserver/websockets/handlers/machine.py#n1051

As far as I can see we'd need to add another way to create an alias

The ui logic could be wrong here. If the physical interface or none of the interface's aliases (or VLANs?) provide DHCP then we should allow an alias to be configure for DHCP?
