Yeah… I have wasted a lot of time thus far pounding away on this. I was 
planning on each site having it's own IP address. What do I do about the server 
name matching the common name though? Servers can only have one name. If I am 
hosting multiple sites (with separate IP addresses), how could the server name 
match all of them?
