After Apache 1.3.19 (I believe) name-based virtual hosts work with SSL and
get the right certificate if

a. each name-based host has a unique ip address
   An easy way to do this is to multihome a nic.
b. Traffic for the host comes in with the right ip address
   I Mention this if you are using firewalls and address translation.
b. If using a passphrase, all certificates need to use the same passphrase. 

I have been using this with Stronghold 3 build 3014 and higher. StrongHold
is RedHat's Apache/Mod_SSL package.

Please pardon me if this is a dumb question.  I have read that SSL and
name-based vhosts cannot be done, yet I set it up and it seems to be working
OK, apart from the expected complaints about mismatched host name and server
certificate.  Am I missing something?  I am running Apache 1.3.23 and modssl
2.8.7. on Linux
