Rather n00b question regarding IPs
I will not be running DNS on my Linode. In fact, it will run MySQL (local only) or PostgreSQL, Apache with multiple domains, mail, and a game server. Since all of the network traffic goes through the same eth interface anyway, am I doing myself any favors by splitting up some of the domains to use a second IP?

Is there much point to running my Linode with 2 IPs? I guess a more proper question would be "Why would I need two IPs on my Linode?"

Typically the only thing multiple IPs is useful for is hosting multiple HTTPS (SSL) sites.
