Anything you "add" to a machine will be extra overhead. But an extra IP is
not that much overhead at all. I wouldn't say an extra "stack" but the one
stack in the machine, the network services. Keep in mind the Network layer
handles IP and that is on the 3rd layer. The upper layers do not deal with
IP.Each and every network session, however, is a session, meaning a separate
are of memory to handle communication for each entry point into the layers
starting at the App layer, but it still goes down the same layer ('stack')
and out the door thru your NIC.

What are you trying to setup?
