Yes but not many distro's use it yet.
I think Ubuntu Jaunty (the one I use use it:
r...@pcintelw01:~# openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/openssl/+changelog (search  
for tlsext)

right?

Another question if I get openssl with tlsext enabled:

1) how do I cehck it with the openssl command that I really have it?
2) how do I set up ssl virtual hosting?
