I guess that's the difference in our scenarios...you're basically running
one site (it seems) and you have secure and non-secure areas working
together.

I need to host multiple domains which have nothing in common and now
need to be able to accommodate secure sites in the mix.

Single site hosting vs multiple site hosting...seems to be where the rub
is...

Subject: RE: SSL Certificates

Yes, for us it is payments.  We have 3 web servers, load balanced with
sticky sessions.  So, when User A goes and adds up a basket in Web Server A
they are always on that server for session awareness etc.  

Now, for each of these web servers we have a secure.blahblah.com site setup
on port 443, each with a cert installed (well it is just one cert exported
and imported across the range).

So, when a user goes to checkout they are effectively leaving their website
domain of www.foo.com and going to secure.blahblah.com - all with their
session data intact.  At the point they move from HTTP to SSL their traffic
is encrypted at the strength allowed by the cert - so yes, all traffice is
indeed encrypted at anytime while they are on https://secure.blahblah.com/  

Data isn't *sent* to that domain, you are actually moving to the secure
domain as part of your request.

When all is done and they want to go back they switch back to www.foo.com
and all is good.
