a virtual host should only require a separate address
if you need to use https, otherwise several 'named'
virtual hosts can share the same ip ...

for ctx17a (or c17e)

#define NB_IPV4ROOT 16
       __u32 ipv4[NB_IPV4ROOT];/* Process can only bind to these IPs */
       __u32 mask[NB_IPV4ROOT];/* Netmask for each ipv4 */
       __u32 tbip[NB_IPV4ROOT];
       __u32 tbmask[NB_IPV4ROOT];

so there is a total of 16 addresses at the moment,
this can be changed in the kernel source code, but
a higher number will slow down the performance ...

HTH,
Herbert
