The patch refered to elsewhere comes from Demon Internet where it was (at least
in my time) used to two /18s and a /16 without problems, this would have
been completely impractical through more conventional means.
As I continue to work with large scale virtual hosting set ups I would quite
like to see this enter the main source tree, allthough I guess people likely
to make use of it are a very small minority.
In an effort to avoid what may follow, I fully appreciate HTTP 1.1 vhosting
is much more appropriate in many situations, this does not however
remove the need for large scale conventional virtual hosting alltogether.
