For HTTP and HTTPS Load balancers, would like to be able to bypass the hostname checking so they can be access by IP. I realize, at least for HTTPS, this could cause some certificate errors for the client.

We have internally hosted sites hosted on F5 TMOS devices that are accessed via the IP address. This does not seem possible on the CE, unless we use a TCP Load Balancer. If the traffic is actually HTTP, we loose all the L7 inspection/statistics.
