[Openswan Users] Problems using openswan and KLIPS on alias interface

In my machine I have two IP addresses of the same subnet:
eth1=192.168.10.70/24 and eth1:1=192.168.10.71/24.
When I start openswan it gives me the following errors:
## ##
ipsec_setup: Error: either "local" is duplicate, or "secondary" is a garbage.
ipsec_setup: Error: either "local" is duplicate, or "eth1" is a garbage.
## ##

And in auth.log I can see that the daemon "adds" only the eth1
interface(and don't add eth1:1):

192.168.10.70:500
Apr 28 15:42:56 brlix pluto[10448]: adding interface ipsec0/eth1
192.168.10.70:4500
####

Anyone knows why?
If I put an address of a different subnet in eth1:1 it adds it normally.

is there a way for me to manually "add" the alias interface?
Using this IP configuration, is it possible for me to run openswan
using the ip of eth1:1 ?

Here is my configuration:
## ipsec.conf ##
version 2.0

config setup
        nat_traversal=yes
        virtual_private=%v4:10.0.0.0/8,%v4:192.168.0.0/16,%v4:172.16.0.0/12
        interfaces="ipsec0=eth1:1"
        oe=off
        protostack=klips
