Google has access to historical DNS, and end users, so they could assist 
end users in also reaching VHosted web sites that did not have current 
or reachable DNS, if that is the goal. Something as simple as a browser 
addon that modified the http host header. There are manual ways of doing 
this now, using the Modify Headers Add-on for Firefox, for example.
