There are no good ways to alias a directory, except using symlinks.
So you need to explain carefully the difference between "run time" and other times. Plus.
You do realize that doing this will have major side effects, like not being able to ever get into /dir/dir2 during run time.

is it normal, that the IP alias (service IP) can't be seen with ifconfig -a , as eth0:1 for example
the IP is on the node, you can ping it, and open ports for that IP

9. Shell Programming and Scripting
Being able to mark in an alias definition a point of minimal abbreviation, an old feature of VAX/VMS shell (DCL) would be really nice in modern *nix shells.
In DCL you used to be able to define an alias (in its own weird syntax) which would be something like this:

times
times(1) User Commands times(1)
NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell
SYNOPSIS
sh
times
ksh
times
DESCRIPTION
sh
Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell.
ksh
Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not
performed.
