Google has access to historical DNS, and end users, so they could assist end users in also reaching VHosted web sites that did not have current or reachable DNS, if that is the goal. Something as simple as a browser addon that modified the http host header. There are manual ways of doing this now, using the Modify Headers Add-on for Firefox, for example.
