Hi Alex,

You can usually deconfigure the extra IP's on the box and send them
down the tunnel. At worst you do a little proxy arp to tell the router
that your vps still serves those addresses.

You'll find providers are reluctant to assign /28's and /29's to
low-dollar VPS services.

They do but it's BYOA and $10/mo generally doesn't cut it.
