Nor have we had any problems with relative addresses etc. We make sure that the default server for the IP has a nice page explaining how to get to the domains if your browser doesn't support HTTP 1.1... I think it also explains why we chose this method (to save precious address space on our network)... I've seen sites with over 300 servers running this way - that's saving 299 IP addresses!
