  yes.
  Both IPv4 and IPv6 web browsers behave differently if you do,
for instance:
    http://192.139.46.2/
vs  http://www.sandelman.ca/

  A different Host: header is sent, and therefore one gets a different 
(virtual) web site. Of course, we have no need of this in IPv6, since
2^64 web sites per LAN is plenty, but the protocol still exists to do it.
  Can we change this in IPv6? Maybe.
