Hi Vasek,
what you say is true for http requests. However, https is not as easy, 
because of the SSL protocol. See:
http://www.g-loaded.eu/2007/08/10/ssl-enabled-name-based-apache-virtual-hosts-with-mod_gnutls/

I haven't tried this myself, just googled a bit. I am planning to have 
named based virtual robots using https myself, but I wanted to avoid to 
set up a separate IP for each.
