Re: Bad idea

You don't need one IP address per site if you use SNI (Server Name Indication). The main problem is that this is not supported by MS Windows XP - which although down to about 17% ... is still some time before web site owners consider it unimportant.

HTTPS is not secure if you can 'own' certificate authorities and/or DNS - neither of which is hard for governments -- so it comes down to who you want to protect against ?
