Usefulness of server ip on Big-IP DNS systems

I guess you ask this question because the server have the same ip as virtual server in your configuration!

But when this product was developed, https server required to add one IP address for each certificate. So one server can host services on other ip addresses.

In such configuration, if you want to add a SNMP monitor, you configure it on only one ip!

But now, with SNI, this requirement disappears! Now, with containers, we can host multiple services on one server listening on different ip addresses...

I understand that 90% of deployments doesn’t require different ip addresses, but this feature is to make other 10% possible!
