   I think they simply meant what the next paragraph says:   
      
       That is, provision must be made for a host to have several   
       physical interfaces to the network with each having several   
       logical internet addresses.   
      
   They write "distinct hosts", but I don't think that means   
   virtualization, or anything else beyond "someone talking to you via   
   address A shouldn't have to know that you also serve using addresses   
   B--Z".
