1) looks wrong, but probably works in practice as you will
likely get the effect of 2) which looks correct to me.
Now, interfaces on lo:0, that is another story, because
loopback interfaces cover _all_ off the addresses in
their netmask, where as all other types of interface that I know of,
and in particular, eth interfaces, only cover one address.
To clarify.
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.10.255 up
-> Add 192.168.10.10 to eth0
ifconfig lo:0 192.168.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.10.255 up
-> Add 192.168.10.0 - 192.168.10.255 to lo
ifconfig lo:0 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.10.255 up
-> Same as above, add 192.168.10.0 - 192.168.10.255 to lo
ifconfig lo:0 192.168.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 192.168.10.10 up
-> Add 192.168.10.10 to lo
