Nah. DNS caching would prevent you from seeing every usage of the site. Much better to just log every source ip : dest ip.

IPs are shared, they don't necessarily tell you what site you're accessing.

IMHO, very few things the ISPs and their advertising customers care about would be using shared IPs.

Never thought of virtual hosts as a security feature! But, I guess it is!

The only thing you'll see is a list of CDNs and cloud providers.

I suppose that is true for smaller sites that don't have their own IP addresses but for larger sites you will be easily able to map it through reverse DNS.

Probably only for the very large. And even there I'm not sure if you can distinguish amazon from AWS, Microsoft from Azure and Google from Google Cloud. Facebook and Twitter should work reliably but even with a Facebook IP it could probably still be Instagram or Whatsapp.
