This is a hardware question.  I assume the box has at least 2 network cards.  So lets say the server has 20 VPS on it and each has a dedicated IP. Does the box need a NIC for each IP or does the box have NIC cards that can service/route multiple IPs? I have a Dell consumer grade mini tower computer with a single NIC which is built into the motherboard.  I assume that NIC can only service one IP address, is that correct or can I install virtualization software on this computer and use the NIC for multiple IP's? Did I just open a can of worms?
