If you remember the context in which I am working here, this is not so clear. I know why you think it is and from the context in which you are talking, I understand why you say that. However, remember that each person or machine that has access to a server in order to make a request must be uniquely identified or that person or machine cannot get a response. This could take quite a while to discuss, actually. The IP address that is exposed to the public, which is the one I use, has to be different or there would be no way to get back to the client machine. So, we may be talking about same IP in a different sense. Remember that distinctions you may be making in URLs I am making in IPs. There might not even be a URL (i.e. non-number URI) in my case.
