You said "traffic wouldn't know which one to go to", but isn't that where SNI comes into play?

 

There's even an article saying that Prior to the introduction of SNI, the client could not establish secure connections to multiple virtual servers hosted on a single IP address. To me that sounds like with SNI support multiple virtual servers hosted on a single IP address has been made possible...
