I'm puzzled.
Unless my english is failing me, everything would be solved using hostnames if I follow you. Why don't you do that ? I am no network/IP guru, but it sounds very weird to have requests rejected when using IP addresses. Are you sure your host names are resolved with the same IPM address you are using ?

HTTP 1.1 requires a Host: header field; this way, multiple web servers may share the same IP address. So you can't identify a host by its IP alone; the host name is required. This was devised in order to save IPv4 addresses; LACNIC (the Latin America addresses register) does not assign addresses to ISP's based solely on web hosting anymore - they MUST share existing IPs. And I think a similar policy is used on other regions.
