The "multilink virtual-template" command is telling the router what
interface "template" to use when binding the physical multilink ppp
interfaces together.

The example below tells the router to "bind" the multilink ppp interface
which is S0/1 to virtual-template 2.

<Config>
!
multilink virtual-template 2
!
interface Serial0/1
 no ip address
 encapsulation ppp
 ppp multilink
!
interface Virtual-Template1
 ip address 13.13.13.1 255.255.255.0
 ppp multilink
!
interface Virtual-Template2
 ip address 13.13.13.2 255.255.255.0
 ppp multilink
!
</Config>

Another option would be to use multilink interfaces which I prefer to
use for serial interfaces.

<Config>
!
interface Multilink1
 ip address 13.13.13.1 255.255.255.0
 no cdp enable
 ppp multilink
 multilink-group 1
!
interface Serial0/1
 no ip address
 encapsulation ppp
 no fair-queue
 ppp multilink
 multilink-group 1
!
</Config>

Does anyone know what a Virtual Template do?

interface Virtual-Template1
 ip unnumbered Ethernet0/0
 ip rtp header-compression iphc-format
 ip tcp header-compression iphc-format
 fair-queue
 ppp multilink
 ppp multilink fragment-delay 20
 ppp multilink interleave
!
interface Ethernet0/0
 ip address 172.16.110.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface Serial0/0
 no ip address
 encapsulation ppp
 bandwidth 64
 no fair-queue
 clockrate 64000
 ppp multilink
!
multilink virtual-template 1 <---- What does this do?

Any help / ideas would be greatly appreciated.
