I think that this is definitely a problem. A virtual IP does not have it's 
own port, but it is sharing the same port with the main ip.

If a machine has main ip 1.2.3.4 and virtual 1.2.3.5 and 1.2.3.6, if I set 
a web server on port 80 on 1.2.3.4, also the other two ip address will be 
listening on port 80.

This, obviously, unless you have 2 different network cards on the system.

         best regards,
