To get supplementary IP's, you have to justify them.
Hmm, I see.

It just occurred to me, if you're hosted on a virtual server, and someone on that box is spamming and gets the IP address on the box blacklisted, you'd be fucked.

But I think all virtual servers have had spam problems, and yet not all the sites on their boxes become blacklisted, so who knows.
