What I thought of when I read this was: Apache virtual hosts.  
Specifically, named virtual hosts.  It allows one IP address to host 
several websites. The website name (e.g. www.example.org) is included 
in the HTTP headers.  I am not suggesting development of Bacula 
virutal hosts.

I mention this the above in case there is any use that you can think 
of for including the name as well as the IP address.
