with "virtual copy" you mean an ip alias interface?

no. if you have more then one ip on a interface, you add these alias 
interfaces. But these alias interfaces are called "eth0:1" and so on. Vlans 
are called "eth0.5" (for the vlan with the id 5). The difference is just 
the "." and ":" in the interface name.

On normal linux machines you also have "eth0.X" as interface name for bridges. 
Some distros might use other names like "vlanX" but this just done by 
renaming the interface afterwards.

as I wrote in another mail. the link local addresses are neede for a working 
ipv6 setup. you can disablem them if you don't load the ipv6 module at all or 
by using "ip -6 addr flush <interface>". But even if you deactive autoconf at 
all, a link local address is always used. These addresses (with some other 
magic) replaces arp completly.
