I've never used them, so be somewhat suspicious.

I'm pretty sure they are just what they sound like. If your eth0 is 1.2.3.4, 
you can add another logical interface sharing the same hardware.  If you 
assign it 1.2.3.5, you have the first step for hosting VMs.

You can also setup 2.2.3.4 and similar on other systems connected to the same 
physical network.  That gives you a separate network that may be handy for 
various broadcast hacks and/or useful for security if you trust VM hosts.
