Definitely not what he expected, I'm sure. It is impossible for a single 
network interface to have more than 1 IP address. 

I want to ask what is he going to do with such set up though. It is 
trivial to emulate IP addressess through ports, so use that instead. Also 
inter-process communication in a single machine is usually better done 
using pipes.
