Excellent question.  It apparently doesn't work on EC2, which does allow 
you to give an instance >1 VIF if you futz around in the console a bit.  
Even though the second interface is listed as "device index" 1, versus 
"device index" 0 for the interface created automatically for the 
interface, attempting to get information for the second netif fails 
silently and information for the first is used instead (not great).
