	In theory. In practice, it would likely require specialised browsing software to simultaneously access a server via its IP (not using the DNS) while passing the server name (expressed as a URL containing a domain name) via http, so that the multi-homed web browser knew which of the multiple hosted web sites to serve. Housing multiple web sites on the same IP address isn't always done, but it is so common as to be ubiquitous. I'm not aware of a way to do this using a common browser.
