That will be a problem for sites that are all hosted on one IP address where the server figures out what site you want by the client's request string.

Thats because of how you set it up. If you want individual IP addresses for all your resources, you can get a huge chunk of IPv6 addresses just for yourself. You can get a /48 (65,536) addresses if you set it up with your ISP.

Of course there are alternatives if you give up using the host header, like routing by URL. But that's difficult when the URL is encrypted, meaning SSL has to be terminated at the proxy.
