If you need more address space then go to the RIR in your area and
REQUEST the address space. Pay them the LIR fee and RECEIVE the address
space from them. But hurry current calculations say it is gone per 2015.
And because of things like: http://web.zshell.net/vhost.php maybe even
quicker.... otherwise said those sites can get IP addresses, then you
can also get them.

Why invent silly work arounds like this? This already exists:

 - Expanded address space: IPv6 : 128bits
 - DNS change: AAAA

Please, install IPv6 on your boxes not IPv4+weirdstuff.
Note also that your applications would have to be upgraded anyway to be
able to understand this construct, just like they have to already with
IPv6.

Which looks just like:

2002:aabb:ccdd:ee:ff:11:22:33::

Guess why there is IPv6....

Please read up on the large variety of transition mechanisms that the
IETF have already come up with over the years, there is bound to be one
that solves your problem.
