My understanding is Off the top of my head, I'd say this won't work: the mutexes are for the SSL cache updates, so: since all virtual servers are really running in the same pool of Apache httpd processes, they all need access to the same mutexes. Furthermore, maybe some of the the modssl functions/libraries assume that all modssl processes use the same shared memory/files/whatever. So, in order to check if your setup works, I'd first set up each virtual server as an actual server (each IP with its own set of httpd processes and independent configs using -D switches and ifdefs), and then I'd try segregating the mutexes, and until that is done, I'd run an SSL connection Perhaps you missed this?  I did setup each IP with it's own httpd server, here is the 'pstree -cp':         |-httpd2(3397)-+-advxsplitlogfil(3404)         |              |-httpd2(3405)         |              |-httpd2(3406)         |              |-httpd2(3407)         |              |-httpd2(3408)         |              |-httpd2(3409)         |              `-httpd2(3450)         |-httpd2(3415)-+-advxsplitlogfil(3422)         |              |-httpd2(3423)         |              |-httpd2(3424)         |              |-httpd2(3425)         |              |-httpd2(3426)         |              `-httpd2(3427)         |-httpd2(3433)-+-advxsplitlogfil(3440)         |              |-httpd2(3441)         |              |-httpd2(3442)         |              |-httpd2(3443)         |              |-httpd2(3444)         |              `-httpd2(3445) And from 'netstat -apn' snippet: tcp        0      0 64.179.36.99:80         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      3397/httpd2 tcp        0      0 64.179.36.101:443       0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      3433/httpd2 tcp        0      0 64.179.36.100:443       0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      3415/httpd2 The goal was to stack three ip addresses into one box, then attach an httpd server to each of the ip's.  One name based http server and two IP based https servers.  This we have, only I wonder if the SSLMutex designation should point to unique filenames or must it be a file that is common to all three httpd servers?
