>> 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.

	Not everyone involved in IG knows the first thing about web hosting. It is worth explaining even if you do understand it.

	Why would you assume that? They might have the money to do so, but that doesn't mean they always do. Or that an ICE action is the only issue here? 
	We've had as case in Australia in the last few year of mass blocking of hosted web sites due to an enforcement agency (a very inexperienced on, getting a little over-excited with certain not often used legislative powers) block an IP address of a site hosted on massive commercial hosting, blocking a few thousand sites. As it turned out, it was a financial regulator who intended to block a single fraudulent site, but due to inexperience specified IP not address.

	Not just US, but any international blocking.
