IP assignment for virtual webhosting

We have been employing the policy of enforcing HTTP 1.1 IP-less virtuals for
a while - only allowing IP addresses for SSL certificates. This seems to be
working well. I'm told that some versions of SSL servers can support IP-less
virtuals as well which is a step in the right direction.

I think that the proposal is a good one and should be followed up with a
policy of reclaiming the used 'virtual server' address space back.

Kind regards

Matthew

Usage of IP Addresses for virtual hosting should be restricted to purposes
where this might be explicitly required for example for a SSL certificate
for a server.   But not for running massive hosting of "homepages".
