Excite and Infoseek I believe are ip based spiders

I know of a couple of name based virtual servers right off the top of my
head that are on yahoo.  I will have to check the others.  So that seems
not completely correct.

I have seen the term "lots" or "many", what I would like to know is
which search engines use IP address instead of URL?  Specifically by
name.

Because if you don't, you will use up all the available IP addresses.
 
It's like tree's in a forest.  They are cheap.  But if you cut them ALL
down, then what do you do for wood ?
 
The problem is:
1.    We want lots of web sites.
2.    We need IP addresses.
3.    There are only so many IP addresses to go around.
So,
4.    How can I have lots of Web sites, without using up all the IP
addresses.
 
Big guys (GE, IBM, CISCO, EBAY, etc) can afford $1,000 or $2,000 per IP,
which is what they could cost if we exhaust them (and have only a small
pool left).
Can you afford that much money to start a web site?  
The law of supply and demand will eventually rule.

Why bother with name based hosting with all the issues against it. If
name based hosting prevents you from getting on a search engine, why do
it.

I'm the network engineer for a large dedicated server/colocation
facility
and I agree that  IP addresses and their maintenance is a large pain in
the
ass.  We have a little over 1/2 a clacc B equivelent and are still
growing.

I have been trying to push customers to use "Name Based" virtual
hosting,
and keep making the sales guys have customers justify needing more than
32 addresses.  We charge $1 per address per month, so it's an important
revenue stream.

As a "network engineer", it's also important to know that IP addresses
are a "fixed" resource.  When they are gone, that's it.  Yes, I know
that IPV6 will cure our problems.  Well they have been working on it
for over 8 years and we don't seem realistically very close to it.

People will hoard (hey anybody want to buy 48 pre CIDR class C addresse)
networks and address and then try to make a killing in the parket.  I
remember several years ago people offering to sell their class B
addresses
that they had from old APRANET days for tens and hundreds of thousands
of dollars.

My point is, that the revenue stream is usless is you can't get more
addresses later.  We have to push back at our customers for REAL 
justifications,  and my providers and ARIN have to push back to me
me for the same.  ARIN, RIPE, et. al. then have to justify to the IANA
(or whatever) for allocations as well.

Market pricing won't give us the conservation we need.

WHat will help is to eliminate the need for REAL IP so people can use
NAME based servers.

Issues;
* All browsers have to support HTTP/1.1 and name based browsing.
Mostly done now  AOL and COMPUSERVE were the biggest offenders.

* SSL Certificates may not always work with NAME based due to
reverse IP not matching the certificates.

* The biggest issue (to my customers), the SEARCH ENGINES need to
support HTTP/1.1 and name based virtual servers.  Most do not.
We, as a community, need to push the search engines into building
in support.  If we do this, we will solve a significant
portion of the problem.  The SSL requirements I feel are probably
not a siginficant portion of the problem

Just my 2 cents.

now, how about this, raise the pricing, and then donate the profit to
some
NPO, or some such thing, i just *HATE* having to update the damned IP
usage
spreadsheet and sending it to our uplink who owns the class C we have.
its
a pain in the ass, ever time we move stuff around on our network.......
It
costs too much time to do it that way.  If the IP's are on a free
market,
then why must we also then justify them?
