Thanks for the prompt response, Jay. Yeah, we have one box (2 processors
:), on one ip. This is just wishing now, but I wonder if there is a way to
extend the ssl handler to be just like apache's handling of vhosts. IOW,
pull the url name from the request, and use that to pick our cert. Seeing
as how my ISP does not do ipv6, multiple ip addresses sorta eliminate the
whole idea of having vhosts. Is this a thing that comes from the openssl
libs? if so, maybe they need patching, and maybe an rfc somewhere needs to
be revised. Thanks again for the info.
