No, you've got it right on the money.

I have a few hosts that have multiple IPs on them, with services that only
listen to individual IPs (probably much like your setup).  For example, one of
my hosts has three IPs on it -- the main interface, and two aliases: one which
has a web server listening; and another with an SMTP server.  My solution was
to create three hosts, and list the primary host as the parents of the other
two.  You'll still have to create extended info for all three hosts in order
to set the icons in the status map, but at least it will be clear from looking
at the map that the other two hosts are virtual, not real hosts.
