You are correct.   The easy answer is: "leave out the :1 on the interface 
name".

Multiple IPs are still bound to one real interface (this is more obvious if 
you use the recommended ip addr command instead of ifconfig eth1:1), and your 
netfilter rules should simply refer to the real interface which the packets 
come in on.
