The big difference between pop (where logging in with

I'd still put little weight on folks advocating and encouraging
the use ftp, but the same point can [sadly] be made much more
effectively with https. IP virtual hosts are where it's at for the
time being.

And lets not forget traffic accounting as well.  ;-)

I think I remember Top Layer saying they dig deep enough into the
packet payload that they can still do flow accounting on name-based
transactions.  However, I may be totally wrong on that.  Cisco netflow
is a different story.
