In a browser, I'd agree with you. But that's going to be specific to the software... checking the domain name against the CN in the certificate is not done in the SSL APIs, and therefore doesn't apply to all SSL circumstances.

Of course, the OP didn't say which software he's using, so who knows?

Erm, unless the certificate has the IP address as it's CN (which i've
never seen), the certificate will fail validation and it won't work.
