Hi I will explain the idea by an example, suppose this website " target.com " points to two IPs ( 1.1.1.1 & 2.2.2.2 ) and these IPs has open port " 80 " now we have 4 entry points to test A) when the server is 1.1.1.1 & port is 80 1- GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: 1.1.1.1 2- GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: target.com B) when the server is 2.2.2.2 & port is 80 1- GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: 2.2.2.2 2- GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: target.com the problem is : in the site map burp handles requests per server and considers point 1 & 2 as one instance so in this scenario we could have only three instances in the site map 1- by visiting http://1.1.1.1/ in the browser 2- by visiting http://2.2.2.2/ in the browser 3- by visiting http://target.com/ in the browser so target.com is virtual host will only point to one ip 1.1.1.1 or 2.2.2.2 ( in site map) and we lost one entry point Thanks
