IP assignment for virtual webhosting

We would therefore like to request the community to consider making it mandatory for NEW installations to use domain based web-hosting, with the exception of a set of agreed applications needing IP based web-hosting (eg. SSL).

So you would require servers like www.siemens.de to share an IP address with www.my-completely-unimportant-personal-site.de if there is no SSL or similar use? I would suggest to make exceptions for heavily used sites, too. Since the vast mayority of webservers does not fall into this category, this is no waste of address space. Robert
