There are examples here.

Be aware, you only get _ONE_ SSL enabled VirualHost per NameVirtualHost
block. (or per IP address) Sorry, that is just the way SSL works.
There is an explination in the FAQ on why, and we just finished a long
thread on that and the use of NameVirtualHost. I won't repeat it here,
but you can look in the archive for a recent (the last 3 days or so)
thread on: VeriSign keys.
Bottom line, one IP address - one SSL Virtual Host. You can have all
the non-SSL virtual hosts you want, but there is no way around needing
an IP address for each SSL host. (Using different ports may be a
possiblity, but I have not yet done it, and don't know anyone who has.)
If you get it to work, let us know. Also let us know how customers
respond to it. It will require a somewhat unusual URL.
