Sorry. That last post was harsh - it's been a long day. But everyone (including me) who moves into SSL immediately wonders why name-based VHs don't work. You are the second person *today* to ask this...
The problem is that the packet is encrypted so apache can't see the Host header so doesn't know what VH to use. But it needs the VH in order to decide on the cert - it's a classic Catch-22. There is no workaround (we had a guy today trying rewrite rules - marks for originality, but no cigar). You have to use separate IPs or ports...
