I can guarantee that much -- the entire point of printing the IP
address is for knowledgable people to be able to tell where the hell
they're *really* connecting.

Have you seen the rest of the discussion? Would it do for you if Wget
correctly handled something like:
wget --header='Host: jidanni.org' http://216.46.192.85/
(I'm trying to avoid new command-line options except where absolutely
necessary. Wget has a *lot* of them already.)
