   The problem is that both IPs are on the same IP, so they share the
   port.

I'm confused by the above sentence.  Doesn't the text below show that
fencepost and bugs are different IPs?

   $ telnet fencepost.gnu.org 443
   Trying 199.232.76.164...
   Connected to fencepost.gnu.org.
   Escape character is '^]'.
   SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.3.0p1



   $ telnet bugs.gnu.org 443
   Trying 199.232.76.168...
   Connected to gnats.gnu.org.
   Escape character is '^]'.
   SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.3.0p1
