Bear in mind that, even if that does work (with -i ippp0 or whatever),
you'll need to make sure that the web server is configured to accept
requests with the 'Host: 192.168.1.1' header, or the corresponding DNS
name, and to pass them to the correct virtual server. If you're using
virtual hosts at all, that is.

Sorry if I'm preaching to the choir,
