Enabling RIPv1 to dynamically route alias network

I have a few different logical networks on one physical network. I've plugged in an 1841 and configured the appropriate ethernet interface with a number of secondary addresses of the form x.y.z.254.

The default gateway of the various computers point to the router and can ping it fine. These are Windows XP machines with the RIP Listener service installed so it can pick up RIPv1 broadcasts.

The 1841 is configured as:

router rip
version 1
network x.y.z.0
...

The problem is that the rip updates seem to be sent out once for each address assigned to the interface, and the default gateway for the network on the Windows computer is one of the alias addresses but not necessarily the correct one.

What is the proper way to do this in general? Thanks in advance.
