Agreed, but I can't see you using huge amounts of address space on SSL
virtual hosts. Of course, as more sites jump in to the area of ecommerce,
this will become more of a problem, but of the over 11 million sites
surveyed by Netcraft, a very insignificant portion were SSL, and I guess we
can deal with that, at least for the moment.
Also, if virtual hosting/virtual domains is taken to mean virtual servers,
then you would need individual IPs for each of those VSD's as well. HTTP
and FTP are really the only protocols/servers that play magic games with
names, and probably are the only ones that should.
