If you move a vserver on a new host, you have to turn the IP alias off
and turn it on elsewhere.

Having a dummy alias will use one IP. It has to be the first alias on the same
network. I mean, if you have

        ifconfig eth0:0 1.2.3.4
        ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
        ifconfig eth0:2 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
        ifconfig eth0:3 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

If you delete eth0:1, then eth0:3 goes down as well. eth0:2 (on a different
IP network and eth0:0 are not affected).

So if you want a dummy first IP alias, it has to be on the same network
(192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0). So it has to be a real/useful IP.
