Hey guys,

I don't think I'm missing it here - but I don't 
think it's possible to do multiple virtual
named-based hosts on one web server with 
SSL on multiple domains going after port 443.

As I understood it - the SSL layer was at 
a lower level on the stack and all it 
saw was the IP address.

The option to do SSL on other ports was 
do-able but not practical - most firewalls
filter out other than 80 for http and 
443 for https.

I was going to see about IP-based virtual 
hosts - but that requires the web server
to be able to handle multiple IPs going
against one web server.  

Am I wrong in my assumptions?


-Arthur.

As long as you aren't using name-based virtual hosts, you can do SSL for
multiple hosts, otherwise, you're out of luck.  You juts need to set up
different virtual host sections for what listens on port 80 and what
listens on port 443 for each virtual host.
