SNI will be in IE7 as discussed (slated for end of 2006, I believe ?), 
in Opera 9 (http://weblog.timaltman.com/node/803 - see 7th feature in 
Merlin feature list, which will have a final release closely) and 
believe other browsers will not stay behind for ever - The Mozilla bugs 
talk about Firefox 2.0 (which will be released 2006Q3 quite likely way 
ahead of IE7). There isn't much talk about it in the webcore/khtml 
community, but I believe they will come through before KDE 4.0.

These are all the browsers that currently count for something. I really 
think you're going to see TLS SNI support majorly in the wild before 
the end of 2007. 

In the mean time, head over there - 
http://wiki.cacert.org/wiki/VhostTaskForce for some interesting 
alternatives on how to solve this on the certificate level. Note that 
all of these require you to be able to regenerate your certificate when 
your vhost setup changes, so its not applicable for most vhosting 
needs.
