You need to put the definition of sys=foo in whichever /lib/ndb
file(s) you use on your /net.alt interface.  You get the `connection
timed out' because names for /net are looked up in /lib/ndb/local and
whatever files it names.  You get `can't translate address' because
names for /net.alt are looked up in other ndb files (conventionally,
/lib/ndb/external and whatever files it names).
