I don't think it works. AFAIK if you SSL wrap the connection it will
warn before going to a site over normal HTTP, and when going to another
https site if it presents a different certificate from the first. But by
the time the browser finds out what certificate the other site is
presenting, it has already revealed it's IP.

Maybe I'm wrong, as I don't know exactly how the relationship between
URLs and SSL certificates are bound - does it read the original
certificate to see which domains it covers?
