You would want your servers to have different IPs!
You can take individual IPs a step further and apply "A" redirects to them (vanity URLs). You would then be able to connect to that specific server with a short, easy to remember URL, rather than the entire numerical IP address.
For example, instead of 192.168.1.1, you would connect to gg.yourclan.com
With multiple game servers on one IP but different ports, this would end up becoming css.yourclan.com:27015, css.yourclan.com:27016, etc. If there's only one server on that IP, the port does not have to be specified.

On another note, when you have a VDS/DS here at NFO, one of two things are a factor.
Unmanaged VDS/DS - is assigned one IP by default. You pay for the rest individually.
They may not be in the same network range, it depends on what's available.
Managed VDS/DS - has an IP address assigned to each individual server. They are almost similar, but normally in the same range. To make them look a bit more organized, and in the same range, you could create a few more instances of that type until you get the IP address you desire. You then want to erase these packages, as they will be utilizing resources you could be otherwise using for a good purpose.
But, keep in mind, even after you erase those packages, you might get that IP address back that you passed by in the process (unless it was already assigned to another customer).
While the IP thing may be a bit inconvenient, it is definitely the least of most of NFOs customers worries that I've seen. No one really minds -- I don't either. I like my servers having their own IPs so I can assign them their own redirects instead of having to remember every single IP.
Of course, every NFO server already comes with a vanity URL. It will be something along the lines of "youridentifier.game.nfoservers.com".
tl;dr
Those are only two of GFLs game servers.. They have a plethora of game servers with many IPs all serving a different purpose, all hosted here at NFO. Why else do you think "No Lag" is in all their server titles? :p
-edit--
@soja - we have almost identical signatures.. haha
