What version of BIND are you running?  This was a problem in BIND 4.8, but
BIND 4.9 is supposed to do the right thing automatically.

Make sure the alias IP address is configured before you start named.  BIND
4 only works right for the IP addresses that were configured when named was
started, and BIND 8 checks every hour to see if IP addresses have changed.
