Are there common uses of large numbers of IP aliases anymore? (say more than 4/16 for failover or conglomerating a few DNS/FTP servers whose addresses are known)? It was commonly used for virtual web servers for a while, but newer HTTP protocol has a way of handling it which is in common use now, so I understand that is rather deprecated.
