Just for the record, proper NBVH cannot work with SSL for reasons which
are fundamental to the HTTP protocol. In a nutshell, SSL negotiation
(needing the certificate) is done *before* the ServerName (defining the
certificate) is transmitted. It is true that if you don't care what
certificate gets used it will *seem* to work but what really happens is
that apache takes the certificate from the first VH in httpd.conf which
is assigned to port 443. 

Proper NBVH requires that distinct sites can share the same IP address
and port number. This cannot be supported using SSL. 

However, since you have several IP addresses you *can* have many SSL VHs
on the same machine - just assign them all different IPs.

Anyway, glad you got it working eventually. You've got me worried about
this IPv6 patch though...
