just one server and most of them are the same IP. The only thing that gets
separate IPs are SSL and special Application sites like the control panel or
the webmail. The need for a Static IP is really Old School thinking, IIS can
handle all the request using hostheaders.
Now if your boss absolutely has to have 89 Domains each with its own IP I am
sure us or most hosting companies can accommodate you but it would take time
and money to setup the IP block.

Subject: Re: SOT: many IPS or one?
I do virtual hosting all the time and have no problems. If you're
using SSL, you'll run into issues, because you need to have a separate
IP for each individual SSL certificate, but for non-SSL hosting, it's
great.
The argument against it is that clients which don't support HTTP1.1
will only ever get the default host on the IP address, becuase they
don't send a host header, but you'll be hard pressed to find such a
client anywhere.
