Why bother debating ssl so much? That is beside the point and is
mostly OT for this thread. For stuff that needs ssl, we can just
create subinterfaces (ie: eth0:0) if absolutely necessary and ip them
with a separate ip. This isn't rocket surgery gentlemen.

The only issue is us getting ip addresses to begin with and that is
completely orthogonal to this discussion.
