Because "You should not use name-based virtual hosts in conjunction with
SSL". It doesn't work. You may think it works, but if you are really
trying to do name-based vhosting (i.e. only differentiating the hosts by
ServerName) then I'll bet you that your server is using the first SSL
host every time. Check it very carefully...

while you're there, read the rest of the posts on this very subject.

you get on.
