IP assignment for virtual webhosting

I hope this doesn't mean they don't deply http 1.1-capable
servers, but that they don't actually utilize the virtual hosting
functionality based on the Host: header in http 1.1?

Not doing 1.1 server-side would be extremely bad for the http 1.1
clients and the general health of the network.

By the way, anyone want to take bets about when the next craze about
"always on" network service becomes significantly widespread, and
how that will affect IP address space consumption? ;-) (No, I'm not
an IPv6 advocate, if that's what you're thinking, just putting this
all in some larger perspective.)
