I'm trying to get private IPs set up with my Linodes. I'm running Debian. Here's my Linode's Network tab:
eth0: 69.164.214.146
( li129-146.members.linode.com )
Gateways: 69.164.214.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Private eth0: 192.168.140.217
Netmask: 255.255.128.0
DNS Servers: 97.107.133.4
207.192.69.4
207.192.69.5
and here's my /etc/network/interfaces file:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0 eth0:0
iface eth0 inet static
address 69.164.214.146
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 69.164.214.1
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 192.168.140.217
netmask 255.255.128.0
On the linode I'm setting up, I can ping 192.168.140.217 just fine. The other linode will not, though.
Yes, the other Linode is in the same data center.
Perhaps there is something I need to do with iptables? Perhaps my configuration isn't right? Any help is appreciated.

The problem was that both Linodes require the private IP address to be installed. Having only one ruptured the space-time continuum and disturbed life as we know it.
