I'm sorry, I don't understand you scenario.

Current implementations of TCP can have only two communication peers,
not three and the TLS handshake works also only with two participants,
server and client.

The client MUST know which of the hostnames was used to open a particular
network connection, so there is NO situation where more than one name
should go into SNI here.
