I don't really think you want aliases on green though.  There are two ways
to go with this, and we want to support both in the future.  The easy first
step is to support static routes.  That way we'll support users with larger
networks.
The second step is to support multiple green/orange/red interfaces.  And
that will be a lot harder.

Kind regards,
