You are absolutly correct.... SSL protocol is universal - you can
use it for securing mail, pop, imap etc... if virtualhost was
TCP protocol feature.... But it is just a http protocol feature.
In my case when I had not enough ip adresses I used such scheme:
http://secure1.me.ru => https://secure1.me.ru:4301
http://secure2.me.ru => https://secure1.me.ru:4302
and so on... people should not remember port numbers for using secure
sites....
By the way if you use SSL in intranet nothing is wrong that you have
name-based
virtual hosting. The browser will warn you every time that it get wrong
certificate...
