Hi,
Yes, it can ! And it is useful for a lot of applications.
The most obvious is when tou want to host several web servers on the same
physical system, and you do not want to specify several TCP ports.
You can host server A on IP A and server B on IP B without needing a
secondary card that you would not be able to plus on the same subnet.
I use it also to have a dynamic primary IP (DHCP) and a static secondary
(I pay for trafic on the static one, but not on the DHCP). That way, all
the trafic I generate is on the DHCP, but I can still call my system with
a static IP... -> static DNS name,...
