Yes i know that :) The question is - how will mod_ssl know that it should
process connections on port 443 and not on port 80.

hmmm. I think I can put genric SSL directives into server's config and none
special are _required_ for virtualhosts. I just have some virtualhosts and
wish to give access to all of them without reconfiguring them. 
And that ebout sslengine was exactly hat i wanteddo know. couls i turnon
SSLEngine on for all connections to one port and turn it off for all
connections on other port?

-> This is a much better idea - keep the SSL and HTTP hosts completely
-> separate, you will sleep better.
