    @darwincollins In my testing, the current popular browsers send the Host header. It is better to use a separate IP address per site, but host headers can be handy. One situation is a developer’s machine hosting many sites. Using host headers remedies having to bind multiple IP address. Another situation is when you do not have multiple public IP addresses available to host multiple web sites. So I do recommend using separate IP addresses per web site, but using the host header can come in handy.

    @darwincollins It does work for XP, so I’m not sure why it says it doesn’t. Maybe it was IE 6 pre SP3.

    See SNI – Server Name Indication in wikipedia. It may need to be updated, but, it appears that it is not really working solution yet from the browser perspective. (for instance, it says that any browser under XP does not support it)
