Thanks Jeremy

I will probably have to use convential ip-aliasing and ip virtual hosting
as a result of the http 1.1 requirement. I just checked the access logs
for a low profile apache server and saw about %20 of the traffic seemed
to come from browsers using http 1.0.

Does this sound about right for http 1.1 vs http 1.0 usage?
