Can I add the eth0:0 from the command line somehow or do I need to run

I don't have linux on this machine I'm working on today and need to do
this remotely with ssh.
Thanks.

The route from pc to devices within the new net is automatically added.
# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.32.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
172.16.0.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
But as you mention, if you want the new net address routed outside, you
are going to need to set their mask/gw address correctly, and probably
provide inbound firewall / routing.
