Hello Niall,
I also use IP aliased interfaces from time to time. Unless that feature is going to be officially deprecated for a newer method, this could/should be a proper bug. When the interface goes away, I wonder if you're having a link flap on your physical interface. I've never used a Pogoplug but I would start there and any issues there SHOULD be logged in /var/log/messages or syslog
Just a followup for anyone watching, after running using
ip addr add <IP> dev eth0 label eth0:1
it has been solid for 10 days or so ... appears that while
ip addr add <IP> dev eth0:1
works for a little while it is not correct and will eventually fail. It may be the avahi daemon getting confused about what interfaces are local ? ... not too important if the 'label' syntax above works.

Has anyone else noted problems with the ethernet alias functionality in recent Linux kernels ? I've just done an update on my tunnel server (pogoplug E02 running Debian 8 with kernel 4.4.0-kirkwood) and within a day or so the 44net alias disappears. Nothing I can see in any of the logs. Replacing the alias via 'ip addr add 44.135.190.17/32 dev eth0:1' is enough to fix it, might have to hack into a cron job :-/R
