If I want to set up multiple IPv6 addresses on a web server, can I do this without using virtualization/VMs?
How would I do this on modern Linux kernels (5.x) or Windows Server 2016/2019?
Relatedly, is it possible to use the virtualization features of a NIC without using virtualization on the OS or CPU side? I know that it's possible to use the SR-IOV feature on NICs with containers, not just VMs. Could I use SR-IOV or similar without using containers or VMs, just dishing out the NIC to different bare metal web server app instances?
Thanks.

, and it can be done just by adding additional IPs to the NIC.multihoming
? multihoming is 2+ gateways/routes, generally two or more upstream systems and BGP/Routing protocols involved to manipulate routing tables for best/shortest paths
