Derek, they are just doing name based Apache Virtual URL's on all the same
server.
The TCP/IP header of the packet provides the information on source and
destination, when not rewritten from NAT, etc. That header information
cross referenced with other packets provides a signature that can easily be
traced to the server itself, or found from within your cookies on your side
or the server side (which are cached for large institutions by places like
Akamai [that has federal government access at all times (Google uses
Alamai)].
The NSA/DHS taps and security audits know what they are doing and can
crunch a great deal of data to fingerprint and determine a subset of
information about each person.
Cross reference of Akamai Caching information (with those taps) trivially
identifies most people irregardless of a proxy, however much people think
they are anonymizing.
The only successful exploits run from a script on a server run from leap
frog access from a list of servers outside of the USA.
Everyone else doing nepharious things is either interesting enough to just
watch or on their way to jail.
