Right. Also, monthly bandwidth monitoring/shaping/capping are more 
easily done using one ip per hosted domain, or ftp site, or whatever. 
Otherwise you are parsing logs or using 3rd party apache modules.
It's a convenience which would not be looked at twice, if it were on 
ipv6. All the more reason to move to ipv6. :-)
