I would guess that they actually want 1 of the following:

Hi,

I am curious to know if its possible to have a router with its two interfaces, say configured as, 1.1.1.1/16 and 1.1.1.2/16. Theoretically, i see nothing which can stop a router from doing this. But practically, is it of any use? And if used, then, when and why will somebody want to use such a kind of configuration?

Would appreciate if somebody could enlighten me on this.

Regards, Rasputin

P.S. I have a customer who insists he wants to do this, without providing any explanations!
