I don't think that this patch is okay.

These changes will allow snort to also inspect the traffic for one or more configured alias addresses, which has not been done in the past.
What consequences did that have? What does this patch change? Is anything of that user-visible or breaking backward-compatibility?
The current situation is, that snort if enabled on red, only inspects the traffic which is desired to the statically configured red address.
If some alias addresses have been assigned to the red interface the traffic to these addresses will not be checked by snort and completely bypasses the IDS.
There is no user interaction required, nor visible-effects or any backward-compatiblity required, only a restart of snort after the update process to protect all red addresses.
There are some formatting inconsistencies in this patch.

RED_TYPE does not have curly braces, ALIASFILE has these.
Pick one based on the rest of the script and be consistent, please.
Thanks for the hint, I will upload a reworked patch soon.
