Argh, I should have read your original post, here's a better answer than my

You're right, IP-based virtual hosts will eliminate your problem.
For name based virtual hosts, what you really need to do is add another pair
of virtual hosts:
NameVirtualHost 111.22.33.44
<VirtualHost 111.22.33.44:80>
ServerName name1.mydom.com
DocumentRoot /home/webfoot/public_html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 111.22.33.44:80>
ServerName namessl.mydom.com
DocumentRoot /home/webfoot/secure_html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 111.22.33.44:443>
ServerName name1.mydom.com
DocumentRoot /home/webfoot/public_html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 111.22.33.44:443>
ServerName namessl.mydom.com
DocumentRoot /home/webfoot/secure_html
</VirtualHost>
Of course, the main problem with this is that only one SSL certificate will
be used between the ssl virtual hosts (the first one listed I think), so the
browser on the client will most likely pop up a certificate/servername
mismatch warning.
Hope this helps more than my last post. :-)
