Another update:
This morning my ubuntu servers automatically restarted after auto updates, and I realised that on one server the primary network interface eth0 was left down. But interfaces eth0:0 and eth0:1 were up and working correctly! Thats really weird I think. I use a workaround now - I put
ifup eth0
ifup eth0:0
ifup eth0:1

in my /etc/rc.local file, thus ensuring that every interface will wake up at the end of the boot sequence. But this is just a dirty workaround....I would like to see a better solution.
