ACK. One practical example: virtualized routes, eg. for VPNs.
Several years ago, I had a customer who provided VPNs via central
hubs - one of the main problem was that he had dedicated physical
machines for the VPN hubs due overlapping IP spaces. We've 
later migrated them to coliunx-based VMs to save a lot iron.

In one of my next projects this issue will pop up again.
