unique ip address to multiple VC

is there a way to assign unique ip address to virtual controllers? by default all VC show up with ip local host 127.0.0.1 and controller name as $hostname. 
intention is to interact with virtual controller using ip address, but as of now system name is only parameter that is unique to each vc. 
I'm assuming people who test pc sdk or robot web services must have faced this issue.
any guidance is appreciated.
