Issue #424 tracks whether or not we want to allow clients to authenticate 
client-facing servers with an IP-based certificate:

   https://github.com/tlswg/draft-ietf-tls-esni/issues/424

There are a number of different proposals for _how_ we might enable this, 
varying in how the name and addresses are encoded in ECHConfig structures, how 
these interact with atypical client connection setups (through a proxy, for 
example), and so on. Complexity abounds. 

Taking a step back, it would be great if we could reach consensus on whether or 
not this is a use case we actually want to solve. If it's not, then the design 
space seems quite smaller and more manageable in comparison. To that end, it 
would be great if folks could chime in here whether or not they support this 
particular use case (with rationale as needed).  

Thanks!
Chris (no hat)
