You edited the wrong file, /etc/aliases is postfix's file and was
correct as you originally had it.

The file to edit is router.db. This is a rancid file and there is one
per rancid group.
rancid-2.3.x uses a ":" as the separator
rancid-3.x   uses a ";" as the separator
This change was made for rancid-3 to accommodate IPv6 addresses
