reasons.....content filters also do.....so finding out if the ips of your server
are on blacklists sure can't hurt.

There's a few more reasons you can think off why in some cases using a real
ip instead of namebased vhosting traffic filtering/shaping and firewalling being
2 of them

Yes we have plenty ips for the years to come but only because of the
existing restrictions and requirements regarding deployment. Most cases
you really should use shared ips if possible and only use real ips if shared
ips aren't a possible option.

I see, my bad. But if we can go back. You said there is two reasons for a decicated i.p.: namebased vhosting traffic filtering/shaping and firewalling

Can you explain why a dedicated i.p. is better for this. Not trying to debate I have never heard of these reasons before?

You said something about black lists, if you mean mail blacklists then a dedicated i.p. wouldn't help either since they black list the host names ip not the websites ip.
