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?
Isn't it a bit unlikely that such a "power-site" would be sitting on a shared server (as avirtual Web) ? mh
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.

I think if you interpret this loosely as "Only one IP per interface" you will get the right idea. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD coreteam member | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
