So, I can host non-SSL sites with host headers on the same IP, but would need a separate IP for any site that requires an SSL Cert.
Can both SSL and non-SSL host header sites run on the same server hardware and software? Could I run this on the same hardware and software if I put in a separate NIC card in the same server for the other IP? This is spiraling out of my level of competence, but I guess that's how we get to higher levels of competence...set a goal, figure it out, and get it running... (and bug your friends on CF-Talk to death :o) This list has been very gracious in allowing me space to go so OT. I'll end this shortly and go off in search of additional knowledge in the googlesphere if I'm not clear on this shortly. (Hmmm...my spell check didn't like "googlesphere"!)

Presumably, then, that's the solution that hosting companies use - they provide a separate IP address for each site or domain that requires SSL.
