Read the spec:

[quote]
   "HostName" contains the fully qualified DNS hostname of the server,
   as understood by the client.  The hostname is represented as a byte
   string using ASCII encoding without a trailing dot.

SNI is a TLS extensions and as such it requires minimum of TLS 1.0 and
cannot be transmitted via SSL 3.0.
