I am not committed to using pseudo interfaces, but I do need to have the ability to have 2 physical interfaces that can respond to up to 3 different sub-nets, and a total of 5 different IP addresses.

What is the output of the "ip addr" Linux command?
I guess that the "bond0:1" pseudo interface corresponds to an alias
IP address, so you might try to use "bond0" instead.
If you don't want XORP to use some of the IP alias addresses
configured on bond0, then you should explicitly configure only those
IP addresses you want to use.
