That's why the infrastructure is "virtualized" and you monitor at or
behind the firewall(s) and/or load balancer(s) -- where it *is* one IP
per customer. Sure, it's easier (and cheaper) to be lazy and waste
address space than setup a proper hosting network.
I wasn't trying to point towards the 'right way', only adding to the
list of motivations that are out there, and being discussed here.
As ipv4 gets less cheap, and less easy to obtain, these motivations
cease. That's a good thing.
