This is not name-based virtual hosting. What is happening here is that
the server is distinguishing between plain HTTP on port 80 and SSL on
port 443. It is using the port numbers to identify the virtual-hosts. So
this is like port-based virtual hosting. This is perfectly normal and is
the simplest way to run an HTTP/SSL server.
Name-based virtual hosting is when you have two or more virtual-hosts
sharing the same IP address and the same port. This can work for plain
HTTP on port 80 (or whatever) but CANNOT work at all with SSL - you can
only ever have ONE SSL virtual host on any given port.
