You can have many usages.
A friend's server have 4 used ip's
2 are for the dns server. It's often required when you register a domain that 2 different IP are referenced for the dns server.
1 for the machine itself.
1 for the "serial console over network" access.
And I know of peoples that use those extras IP for vmware virtual machines.
Rather than doing a complicated redirect of the tcp packets, they bridge the virtual machines to the physical network.
