Well... Not really.  There is an undocumented method to do it.  Use 
"protocolHost" option.

What I'm going to do is to modify "sni" option, to specify client-side 
SNI name in a client-mode section ("client = yes").

You don't really need DNS for this.
You could also specify your names in /etc/hosts on your client.
