This would be great for testing multi-tenanted cloud applications. For example:

tenant1.10.0.0.1.xip.com tenant2.10.0.0.1.xip.com tenant3.10.0.0.1.xip.com

They all resolve to the same IP Address (10.0.0.1), but now the web application at that address knows which tenancy is being targeted.

You can do this with pow if you're testing locally - tenant1.mydomain.dev, tenant2.mydomain.dev etc, and the URLs are a bit cleaner.
