  List the clients under different virtual servers, and have the virtual
servers listen on different IP addresses.

  The list of clients is based off of a virtual server.  Within each
virtual server, the client IP addresses *must* be unique.

  If you post your config, my guess is that you have *global* clients,
and then are defining the same client IP twice.
