Typically these sites don't run SSL on the server. It's terminated
at the switch hardware, many net gear vendors have SSL accelerators
that emulate a connection to the server. The end user doesn't know the
difference. And you bind the SSL cert to the net device.

Subject: KeepAlive and IE, again...
Folks,
I know the issue of IE being unable to work with modssl has been
brought up before. The conclusion expressed in the FAQ is -
IE is buggy, disable keepalive for IE, and that's it.
I've spent just a little time looking at https://www.microsoft.com
which obviously runs on IIS5.0, and sniffing the traffic.
On the surface it looks like both IE and Netscape keep the sockets
open for a minute, and reuse them with no problem.
I didn't dig too deep, but these observations raise the question again.
Is it possible to have mod_ssl support keepalives with IE, even in
a dirty way? Apparently IIS does it, to a great performance benefit!
Thanks!
Igor
