Virtualbox with Virtual Ip's does it work?

I have 7 ips,

I am currently using 2 ips on the host machine, and I would like to setup virtual box to use a 3rd ip.

I currently specify the ips with eth0, eth0:1, eth0:2 etc. up to eth0:6

I have had nothing but problems with setting up the interfaces to bridge br0 with vbox0, and eth0:6

Is this even possible?

Here is my Setup for testing

auto lo iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual

auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 67.205.89.198 netmask 255.255.255.224 gateway 67.205.89.193 bridge_ports eth0 vbox0

auto eth0:1 iface eth0:1 inet static address 70.38.4.193 netmask 255.255.255.248

When I restart networking I get this error. I've attached a screenshot.

I have connectivity, but when resetting the network it is really slow, and the guest machine which is also running unbuntu, has no internet connections.

I have set the guest machines eht0 to the same settings as the br0 on the host machine.

Hello,

I'm not sure if this will work, but try:

Set static ip for all your interfaces eth0 through eth0:6. Then, try bridging with one of the virtual interfaces.

However, if I recall correctly, a bridge must have one physical interface ...
